CALGARY (660 NEWS) — Don’t throw those freshly trimmed tree branches in your green bin quite yet.

The Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre could use them. It has had an influx of baby beavers, deer and even a porcupine, and the little critters are hungry.

“We’re looking for stuff that’s fresh,” explained executive director Andrea Hunt. “We’re not looking for old stuff that has been sitting on the group for a long time.”

She added they don’t need a huge influx of greenery, but a steady supply to keep the babies fed over the summer.

The centre is only looking for native tree species because other varieties are poisonous to the animals.
