Adopt An Animal

Lake Metroparks Animal Ambassadors represent a variety of native Ohio wildlife species. These residents are under the permanent care of the Kevin P. Clinton Wildlife Center staff because their injuries prohibit independent survival. Animal Ambassadors allow us to educate the public about conservation.

We invite you to support our mission of nature education, conservation and stewardship through "adopting" one of our Animal Ambassadors.
