WILDLIFE IMAGES 
Wildlife Images was started in 1981 by J. David Siddon. The facility was created in order to provide for the care and treatment of sick, injured and orphaned wildlife. Wildlife Images has since expanded to provide educational programs on wildlife, conservation and the environment to schools, organizations and the general public. The Center, and its programs and activities are a direct outgrowth and continuation of the late Founder J. David Siddon’s personal involvement with wildlife rehabilitation and education for more than 40 years. The center currently operates under the direction of David Siddon Jr., who continues on with his father's mission.
One of their earliest projects was “Happy.” Happy was a Red Tailed Hawk from Wildlife Images and was used in many Buick commercials and advertising. We are proud to be an annual sponsor for Wildlife Images to help the wildlife in our area and help educate people. They offer daily tours and more information is available at www.wildlifeimages.org.
