Check out this list of Tennessee Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitators. During spring, many young animals are found in yards, along roadsides, in barns, etc. Keep in mind that many young animals that may appear orphaned are just waiting for their mother to return. The BEST course of action is to leave it right where you found it. In the event that the animal is badly injured or the mother has not returned after 48 hours, check out this list of rehabilitators for help. Remember, it is illegal for an unlicensed individual to offer veterinary care or keep wildlife.

Reelfoot NWR is well-known for nature photography and birding. However, there are several ways to enjoy the refuge. You can explore the exhibit area at the visitor center, where you will be greeted with a smile and given information by resident volunteers. You may drive the 3.5-mile auto tour route, hike in the bottomland hardwood forest, and enjoy beautiful views from several viewing towers. If you have a kayak/canoe, you can glide across the still waters of Reelfoot on our established canoe trails.
