On July 18, 2015 at 7 pm, Tippecanoe River State Park will go Wild About Wildlife with Hoots to Howls and Kim Hoover as she gives a live animal demonstration in the park’s campground.
Kim Hoover, president of the nonprofit organization Hoots to Howls Wildlife Rehab Inc., gives live animal demonstrations around the state of Indiana to educate the public about our local wildlife. Some of her animals are endangered species and by empowering the public with knowledge, Hoover hopes to move these precious resources off that list.
“It’s all about education,” Hoover says. She will be talking about our native Indiana wildlife and ways the public can help these animals.
Hoover has been caring for sick and injured animals since 1978. She earned her Wildlife Education permit in 1989. She holds both state and federal licenses as a wildlife educator and rehabilitator.
“I decided to do this to save a few lives,” Hoover says. Without these licenses and permit, the state laws says if the animal cannot be reintroduced it must be terminated.

Hoots to Howls take in sick and injured animals and rehabilitate them for release back into their natural habitat. Sometimes the animals are too injured for release, so Hoover uses them as educational animals, like these birds.
Owls are not the only animals Hoots to Howls saves.
