Wolf Hollow at the Fair and Welcoming Summer Interns

Wolf Hollow was selected by the San Juan Island Community Foundation as this year’s featured non-profit. During the San Juan County Fair, August 16 – 19, all money raised for Wolf Hollow at the Foundation’s booth will be matched 50%. 

Wolf Hollow’s Education staff will be on hand in the Green Village at Fair so stop by to play a round of mini golf (in the spirit of the Fair’s theme) and learn more about our local pollinators. 

Meanwhile Wolf Hollow’s new summer interns are helping out with round the clock summer feedings. Here they are…

Paloma Miro joined us as our 4th intern of 2017. She is currently working towards a degree in Animal Science with a specialization in Captive and Companion Animals at the University of California – Davis. She has worked with a range of livestock as part of her university classes and has volunteered at an animal shelter. Paloma also completed a 3-month zoo keeping internship last summer. The internship at Wolf Hollow will provide Wildlife Rehabilitation experience to help her decide which type of animal care – rescue or conservation work – she would like to pursue as a career.

She has a rich variety of animal care experience from her volunteer work as a zookeeper, at domestic animal shelters and at an aquarium. She now hopes to combine that experience with her conservation biology knowledge to explore the field of Wildlife Rehabilitation as a possible career.

He has been fascinated by wildlife since he was a small child, has carried out field research projects and taught wildlife tracking and wilderness survival. Nick’s animal care experience comes mainly from raising a range of domestic animals. As a Wolf Hollow intern, Nick hopes to learn new skills for caring for wild animals, with the goal of becoming a Wildlife Rehabilitator.
