The Kevin P. Clinton Wildlife Center is home to the Lake Metroparks wildlife rehabilitation and educational facilities and receives 2,000 injured and/or orphaned native Ohio wildlife for first aid, care and rehabilitation each year. Many animals eventually resume their lives in the wild. Outside, visitors can view the center’s permanent residents up close in the Wildlife Center yard. Wildlife Center staff will also walk around with permanent residents so visitors get an up-close and personal look at these amazing creatures.
