Long overdue, but a huge thank you and shout out to Vermont Museum of Natural History! Thank you so much for allowing us to release a few opossums in your backyard. I'm sure these girls are LOVING their life in the wild and grateful for the sanctuary and safe space to simply be an opossum. Thank you, thank you!

We are so incredibly grateful to Smithland Pet & Garden Center for hosting New England Opossum this past weekend!
From the moment we arrived, their team went above and beyond, welcoming us with kindness, enthusiasm, and genuine support for wildlife education. It’s clear that their love for animals and community runs deep.
Opportunities like this make such a difference in helping us share the important role opossums play in our ecosystems, and we couldn’t do it without partners like Smithland who open their doors and hearts to us.
Thank you for not just hosting us, but truly championing what we do. We, and the opossums of New England are so lucky to have you in our corner!!
