Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of injured and orphaned wildlife. Founded in 2003, they are a state and federally licensed, private, not-for-profit 501(c)3 wildlife rehabilitation center. They treat all species of wild birds, reptiles, and amphibians, as well as wild mammals excluding skunks, bats, and raccoons.

With their main facility located in the greater Barrington, Illinois area, they have become one of the largest wildlife rehabilitation centers in the state. Equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment and a team of dedicated professionals, their Barrington location provides round-the-clock care for animals. In addition, Flint Creek Wildlife operates a satellite facility in downtown Chicago at Northerly Island, which is the only wildlife rehabilitation center in the city.

This location is strategically placed near the museum campus, making it easier to provide immediate care to animals injured in downtown Chicago. Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation relies entirely on public donations as they do not receive any government funding. With their commitment to wildlife preservation and public education, they strive to promote respect for wildlife and their habitats.

By supporting their mission, you can help ensure the successful rehabilitation and repopulation of endangered and threatened wildlife species
