ADVERTISER DEMOCRAT • August 20, 2020
The best way to help young animals in the wild is to leave them undisturbed. But dedicated wildlife rehabilitators throughout Maine are prepared to provide care when it is necessary. Katrina Lewis Carstensen has cared for six orphaned fawns this summer. She is one of only four rehabilitators statewide who is equipped to care for deer. She specialties are fawns and smaller mammals – woodchucks, skunks, squirrels and porcupines. She also cares for migratory birds, which requires a federal permit.
