Wind Over Wings Garden Club

Program Rescheduled For March 31

A program with Hope Douglas from Wind Over Wings Rehabilitation and Education Center that was to have been presented earlier this month has been rescheduled for Thursday, March 31.

The program is being sponsored by The Town and Country Garden Club of Newtown at Newtown Senior Center.

The program will begin at 7:30 pm. The public is welcome to attend, free of charge.

Wind Over Wings, Inc, is a nonprofit wildlife rehabilitation and education center started by Ms Douglas in 1990. Its goal is “to provide a personal connection with wildlife that will lead to good stewardship of the environment.”

The center is licensed by the federal government as well as the state of Connecticut, but all funding is based on donations. Wind Over Wings also has a wildlife team of licensed rehabilitators, each of whom specialize in a specific species.

Ms Douglas will be bringing some of the center’s with her as part of the program including a golden eagle that was deliberately shot and lost a wing. The eagle was rescued in South Dakota and Delta Airlines shipped it for free to Connecticut. This is only one example of the incredible support the center has received over the years from a variety of sources.

Newtown’s senior center is in the Multi-Purpose Building on Riverside Road in Sandy Hook
