Rescue - Rehabilitate - Release - Repeat

Proudly caring for Connecticut's wildlife

At Forty Acre Wood Wildlife Rescue, we provide safe haven, skilled care, and a second chance for orphaned and injured wild animals. Specializing in small mammals such as cottontails, opossums, and flying squirrels, we bring heart, skill, and soul to every rescue.

Located on forty acres of private woodland, our home-based center offers a peaceful, natural environment where healing begins. 

What We Do:

• Rescue: Emergency response for orphaned or injured wildlife

• Rehabilitation: Species-specific care grounded in science and compassion

• Release: Safe, ethical reintegration into the wild

• Education: Resources and outreach to support peaceful coexistence with native wildlife
