Thankful for Wildlife
We are celebrating Michigan’s wildlife today, and especially the animal ambassadors who live at Blandford! From owls to turtles and many others in between, caring for non-releasable animals has been part of our history for over 50 years. There are more than 35 resident animals at Blandford who help us teach folks of all ages about the wonders of Michigan’s native species, and we are so grateful for them!
Below is a schedule of programs for the day. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please click on each link to read more about the program.

O Lord my God, you have performed many wonders for us. Your plans for us are too numerous to list. You have no equal. If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them.
