One Miami landscape business and three local non-profits have joined together to share support and resources to better the lives of injured wildlife.

MIAMI, FLORIDA, USA, October 20, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Pelican Harbor Seabird Station (PHSS) recues and rehabilitates injured birds and other wildlife. Most injured birds that are treated at PHSS have physical injuries caused by fishing hooks and line. Pelican Harbor Seabird Station has a strong commitment to the welfare of its residents and patients, so they invest a lot of effort to provide enrichment in every enclosure. The Captive Animal Research & Enrichment (C.A.R.E.) Society, a local non-profit founded by Shobha Lizaso, a Miami business attorney, performed behavioral research studies at PHSS and offered to further PHSS's efforts by seeking donations of sea grape plants so that the resident pelican patients may have natural nesting material within their enclosures. Then, Southern Blossoms (www.SouthernBlossoms.com), a local luxury landscape design company that has been servicing Miami since 1989, answered the C.A.R.E Society's request and offered to donate all the sea grape plants that PHSS could use to enrich the wild bird enclosures. The UF/IFAS Miami Dade Florida-Friendly Landscaping Program is supplying volunteers to plant the sea grape trees.

They have arranged for a “Planting Day” that will take place on November 6, 2016 at the Pelican Harbor Seabird Station.
