No more trees, thanks.
Public response to a appeal for used Christmas trees was better-than-expected, with more than enough confers landing at the 91原创 wild animal rehabilitation facility in less than a day.
鈥淎bout 50 to 60 trees,鈥� estimated animal care supervisor Brooklynn Martin.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 enough for every animal.鈥�
Interns were piling trees up in an unused animal enclosure on Saturday, after Martin posted a thank-you message on the Critter Care Facebook page.
鈥淲e are now full,鈥� Martin said.
The trees, which arrived with decorations and tinsel removed, will be used as 鈥渆nrichments鈥� for the hundreds of injured or orphaned wildlife, including raccoons, opossums, fawns, coyotes cubs, bears, skunks and more that arrive at the centre at 481 216 Street.
Critter Care rehabilitates between 900 and 1200 mammals a year, many of whom stay in care for at least six to nine months and some as long as 18 to 24 months.
