Squirrel Lady to the rescue
Hurricane season means extra work for Karen Clark. As a licensed wildlife rehabilitation specialist specializing in Sciurus carolinensis, Clark spends her time rescuing and rehabilitating squirrels at her property in Plant City. “The wind just knocks some of them right out of the trees, ” said Clark, 42. “Especially the babies.” In just one day after Hurricane Frances in 2004, Clark took in 200 injured squirrels. While Clark has been an animal lover her entire life, she only became involved in squirrel rescue about 10 years ago. On a field trip to her son Will’s school, Clark noticed the children had found a newborn squirrel that was struggling for life. Always the one to take an injured animal home, Clark rescued the baby, named him Rocky and nursed him to health. She quickly became enamored with the species and put the word out that she would take more injured ones in for rehab. »
