Wildlife Rescue
Wildlife can end up in storm drains. While they can often get themselves back out, some of the smaller critters (like ducklings) may need help. If you find wildlife that appears to be stuck in a storm drain, monitor the situation from a distance if possible to avoid spooking the animal(s). If the animal is unable to exit under its own power, call the above number. Please advise the staff taking the call of the type of animal so we can enlist animal control if necessary. Rescuing a raccoon is a very different undertaking than rescuing a duckling.
