National Wildlife Day to support diverse nature to take affect in September

August 21, 2024 by Toronto Newswire

It’s a good day for wildlife.

September 4 is National Wildlife Day and Urban Nature Stores is taking a bold step to support Ontario’s diverse wildlife with their “Seeds of Kindness” campaign.

The proudly Canadian retailer is pledging 10% of all bird seed sales to Ontario Wildlife Rescue Centers, (OWRC) which are vital lifelines for injured and orphaned animals.

Urban Nature Stores is leading the way in backing the invaluable work of the OWRC, which are mostly run by volunteers and receive no government funding and rely on public generosity to rehabilitate and release wildlife back into their natural habitats.

“Urban Nature Store is proud to support the Seeds of Kindness program to bolster the incredible efforts of Wildlife Rescue Centers throughout Ontario. The work these organizations do is nothing short of lifesaving for countless birds and animals in need,” said Paul Oliver, Founder of Urban Nature Store.

Urban Nature Stores has become a sanctuary for bird lovers and nature enthusiasts alike, with nine retail locations across Ontario, from St. Catharines to Kingston and throughout the Greater Toronto Area.

There will be in-store information on local rescue centers and ways the public can contribute to these organizations.

“This initiative underscores the importance of community support in preserving Ontario’s wildlife,” Oliver said.

The OWR collaborates with over 50 Wildlife Rescue Centers across the province, serving as a critical link between the public and these centers.

OWR also provides essential resources, including food, medical supplies, and veterinary care, ensuring that these rescue centers can continue their lifesaving work.

You can also visit their online store, www.UrbanNatureStore.ca, offering high-quality bird feed, feeders, premium binoculars, and an array of nature-inspired gifts.
