Do you have a pet that you're no longer able to care for? Don't release it, rehome it! 🐢🐟

Rehoming unwanted pets prevents non-native and prohibited species from being released into Montana’s waterways and negatively impacting our native species. Invasive Species Action Network is hosting an Aquatic Pet Rehoming Event at Montana WILD on Saturday, September 27th in the auditorium. Pet fish, turtles, frogs, and aquatic plants will be accepted for rehoming. Non-aquatic, venomous, or waterfowl species will not be accepted at this event.

This young red-necked grebe was recently found at Spring Meadow Lake with fishing line caught in its beak.

Spring Meadow Lake is a treasured spot for people and wildlife, and it’s right in our backyard here at Montana WILD!

Unfortunately, we’re seeing an increasing number of birds tangled in fishing line and other wildlife put at risk. While we do everything we can to help these animals at the Wildlife Center, we can't always help them in time. That's why we need your help.

- Collect ALL fishing line, hooks, and tackle

- Use the fishing line recycling stations available on-site

- Pack out everything you bring in

- If you see discarded line, please pick it up—even if it’s not yours
