About
Acorn Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation is a grassroots non-profit that rescues injured, displaced, and orphaned wildlife mammals (specializing in squirrels, bunnies, and juvenile groundhogs) in Millersville Boro, Lancaster County, as well as the surrounding counties. We are the only facility in the state that specializes in the rehabilitation of squirrels, woodchucks (groundhogs) and cottontail rabbits. We bridge the gap between injured wildlife and the public! Our animal care team, made up of big-hearted, dedicated volunteers, care for these animals while they are being rehabilitated for the safe release back into the wild. Our wildlife rehabilitator is 1 of 2 individuals in the state of Pennsylvania and the only one in Lancaster County to hold the international designation of Certified Wildlife Rehabilitator (CWR), which speaks to her level of education and thus level of care. Nearly all these animals come to us as tiny babies or young juveniles! We raise them, teach them life skills, and then reintroduce them back into their natural wild habitat so that they can do their very important jobs helping our ecosystem.
