Gabby Peterson writes: "The Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah is working around the clock to be able to resume nursing Utah’s injured wildlife back to health at its new home after having to relocate — and for the center’s staff and community volunteers, that process has included putting in a lot of elbow grease.
"'I didn’t have power tools before this, and now I’ve got power tools,' DaLyn Marthaler, executive director of the nonprofit center, said in an interview with the Deseret News.
"In early 2023, the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah was notified by the city of Ogden — the owner of the center’s previous location at 1490 Park Boulevard — that it would need to vacate the building that it had called home for more than a decade to make way for the expansion of its neighbor, the George F. Eccles Dinosaur Park.
“'I was in shock,' Marthaler said. 'Gut punched and sick. Could not believe it was real, I can’t even describe it.'"
