Oakland City Council

We are not adverse to moving out of Oakland in order to save the wildlife center. We do need to stay in the Oakland/Berkeley/Alameda area to continue to do our good work here.

To advocate us moving to Alameda, please visit this website for the contact information of Alameda’s mayor and city council: http://www.ci.alameda.ca.us/gov/city_council.html

To advocate us moving to the Berkeley area, please contact the Mayor and City Council at: http://www.ci.berkeley.ca.us/ContentDisplay.aspx?id=22466

Do you think it is a good idea for us to establish our wildlife rehabilitation & education center in the regional parks? Perhaps near the Little Farm, at the old “pony rides” stables that have been empty and unused for the last 20+ years? If you said yes, please write a letter to the East Bay Regional Park District and tell them so. Feel free to email us for content suggestions. Thank you!
