DEDICATED TO THE CARE OF INJURED AND ORPHANED WILDLIFE IN CONNECTICUT

Since 2002, Nutmeg Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation has provided care for injured and orphaned wildlife throughout Connecticut. The facility is owned and operated by Sherry Harmon, a licensed wildlife rehabilitator and the organization’s director. Each year, Nutmeg Acres cares for more than 400 wild patients, with the ultimate goal of returning them to the wild, giving them a second chance at life. Sherry holds a USDA Class C license, enabling her to provide permanent homes for non-releasable mammals that serve as ambassadors in public education programs.

​Our organization depends on fundraisers, grants and private donations to provide for our many patients. You can be part of the solution! Your tax-deductible donation means a wild animal will get a second chance at life.
