Babies go wild for wildlife center

SYCAMORE – Sixty baby raccoons, 200-plus baby birds, bunnies by the dozens, squirrels driving you nuts – that’s just a typical spring at Oaken Acres Wildlife Center in rural Sycamore.

To defray the cost of some new cages and “sprucing things up for the upcoming orphan season,” founder and president Kathy Stelford said the center will host a special event at Blumen Gardens in Sycamore.

Babies Gone Wild will be on Saturday, March 2 to raise funds and make sure that guests understand the entirety of the work and services that Oaken Acres offers.
