This month’s Footnotes program features a visit from Jean Soprano who will introduce us to Kindred Kingdoms, an organization dedicated to the care and release of injured birds of prey and black bears in Central and Northern New York.

The organization is a not-for-profit formed in 1997 by Jean Soprano and Len Soprano. Kindred Kingdoms Wildlife Rehabilitation Center provides the best medical treatment with the least amount of stress possible for injured and orphaned wildlife. By building shelters on their 40 acre site, KKWRC offers the best conditions to allow the animals to heal in their natural habitat surrounded by foliage, fresh air and all the sounds of nature to which they are accustomed. The ultimate goal is to care for wildlife and get them healthy and strong enough to be returned to the wild.

In 2012 Kindred Kingdoms rehabilitated and released 5 bald eagles and 19 black bears.

Come hear more about this incredible facility and the dedication Jean and Len have poured into it for more than 16 years.

To attend the event, please RSVP online.
