Debra Mills

Litzy Venturi
" The often negative inpact on wild animals and birds caused by humans has led me to volunteer at Free Flight. I want to make things better."

" The animals in the wild have their own world and we don't have access to it. We can just glimpse into it a little when they are with us. Working at FF has been a humbling experience for me over the last 10 years."

Pam Wright
"At every program I watch for that flicker of recognition,
connectedness, that ignites wonder in the eyes of a child or grownup … in that moment, a heart and mind has changed."

Anna Zahn
"I clearly remember the first time I went into our turkey vulture Jerry's mew to clean—he regurgitated. But he got used to me and I to him."
