LAKESIDE NATURE CENTER If you have ever called us in search of assistance with an injured or orphaned animal, I know you will recognize the name Lakeside Nature Center. Located on Gregory Blvd in Swope Park, Lakeside Nature Center is a Kansas City Parks & Recreation facility with a legendary reputation. While Lakeside has a fantastic staff, it is perhaps their corp of super dedicated volunteers that make their success in animal rehabilitation possible. When you call Lakeside, you will generally get a recording but one of their many volunteers will call you back quickly with the best advice they can give you. Their wonderful Nature Center is still relatively new and features many live animals. They have several raptors whose injuries are such that they can not be returned to the wild on display. These animals are now used in educational programs. To learn more about Lakeside, volunteer opportunities or how to help them, visit www.lakesidenaturecenter.org.
