Action #1 – Recycle your used mascara wands! Really!
Please do NOT throw away your mascara wands. These little wands are able to be upcycled to clean away oil, larvae, fly eggs, mites, infections, mud and other contaminants from wildlife and they work great for medical care and wound treatment. Instead, clean JUST THE WAND with soap (don’t send the other half!), place them in a ziploc bag, pick your wildlife refuge to mail to, fill out this donation form, and mail from your local post office so it’ll have the right postage:
- Appalachian Wild, P.O. Box 1211. Skyland NC 28776 OR
- Wildlife Wands, P.O. Box 1586 Southwick, MA 01077
(Please do not purchase new wands – the program is for recycling old ones. Instead, please donate food or supplies from the Wishlist or make a donation.)
They also have a great site for what to do if you find a wild animal (bird, mammal or reptile) that you think might need assistance. Find a wildlife rehabilitator here.
