BABY SEASON FUND DRIVE
SUPPORT BABY SEASON AT SBWCN
From featherless songbirds to wide-eyed fawns, spring brings a tidal wave of fragile lives needing urgent care. It's Baby Season at the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network—a time when over a thousand injured and orphaned babies arrive at our doors. Each one has a story. Each one needs a second chance. And you can be the reason they survive.
Found an Animal?
Injured, orphaned, or in distress—wild animals can’t tell us when they need help. But you can.

ABOUT SBWCN
Caring for wildlife. Educating the community.
Every day, animals in our region face threats they were never meant to navigate—window strikes, wildfires, orphaning, fish hooks, oil spills. For over 35 years, the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network has been here to help. Our mission: to rescue, rehabilitate, and return injured and orphaned wildlife to their natural habitats—while educating our community on how to live in harmony with the wild world around us.
