Keirstie Carducci, Licensed Michigan Wildlife Rehabilitator, Founder and Director of Out-Back Wildlife Rehab Center
Every year hundreds of thousands of tiny dramas unfold in Michigan as wildlife are hit by cars, inadvertently relocated, injured, or trapped. This is especially true when wildlife mothers can’t return to the babies they had been caring for. Who steps in to rescue, rehabilitate, and raise the orphans? Licensed wildlife rehabilitator Keirstie Carducci has been spending sleepless nights responding to wildlife emergencies, bottle feeding countless orphaned wildlife, and releasing rehabilitated animals back into the wild for decades. Her vast experience has helped to inform veterinarians on how best to take care of wildlife in peril, and her amazing stories drew the attention of the Detroit Free Press, which did an entire article just about her in 2023. A true Michigan hero, Keirstie will come to Next to tell her stories of success and heartbreak in the life of a licensed wildlife rehabilitator.
