The Bad News is our wildlife center, The ONLY wildlife rehabilitation and education center in the Oakland/Berkeley area, is being evicted from the property we have operated on for the last 6 years. The owner has taken the property off the rental market and has asked us to leave. (Ellis-Act Eviction)
The GOOD news is, we have found the PERFECT property to relocate our wildlife center to but it is selling as a “cash-only” sale. We have launched a fund-raising effort but still need to raise over $150,000 in order to buy the property outright.
Knowing that we cannot survive another “surprise” like this, we have been working hard towards raising funds to purchase this property. The land is FLAT, with 2/3rds of an acre of oak trees and fruit orchards, in a readily accessible location. In many ways it is a better location for our work and would allow us to expand both our wildlife rehabilitation and our education programs to better serve our community.
