The
Charmacy Wildlife Center is a non-profit rehabilitation and education center
dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of orphaned, sick or injured
wildlife, returning these animals to wellness and releasing them back into the
wild. Animals and birds whose injuries prevent them from fending for
themselves in the wild, are cared for at the center and some of these become
"teachers" and go out with Marcy to teach people about their world.
The Wildlife Center is located in Holbrook and has been in operation as a
state and federally licensed wildlife center for 23 years thanks to Marcy and
many wonderful, caring individuals. It is very costly to run a wildlife
center. There is never a fee charged for the care given to the animals. Sick
animals require medications, food, housing, utensils, veterinary, and endless
hours of cleaning and upkeep. They depend on donations and fees from the
educational programs to keep the center running. For information about
volunteering or donations please call Marcy at 781-767-5514. A percentage of
the day's sales will be donated to the Wildlife Center.
Please come and join us in experiencing the energy of these
beautiful creatures up close!

Latest news: Just a few weeks ago Marcy received a call from a local animal
control officer asking for her help with two red tailed hawks that had gotten
into trouble with a sticky substance that was illegally dumped in an open
field. The mother's and three-month old's feathers were covered with this
undetermined substance and were unable to fly and were going into shock.
Marcy got the birds home, stabilized them and began the careful work of
cleaning their feathers. Two weeks later they are almost clean. The
youngster may be able to be released soon, the mother may take a while longer
- her wings may be compromised from the trauma of being stuck and trying to
pull herself free, and she will need more rehabilitation.
