Host Jeff Corwin returns to Massachusetts, joining Dr. Lindsay Rosa of Defenders of Wildlife at the New England Wildlife Center. The center provides vital veterinary care for sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife, from raccoons to owls. Corwin and Rosa highlight the surprising biodiversity of New England and the challenges species face due to human encroachment and pollution.

They observe the rehabilitation of a swan suffering from lead poisoning, a common issue from fishing sinkers and shotgun shells. The team successfully treats the swan and later releases a recovered barn owl into a protected habitat. This experience underscores the critical need for conservation efforts and mindful coexistence to protect our wildlife neighbors. To learn more, visit www.defenders.org/wildlifenation.
