Summary
The May–June 1968 Beaver Beacon carried the Conservation Department’s spring appeal to leave apparently stray fawns, baby rabbits, raccoons, and squirrels alone because their mothers were likely nearby. It also reminded readers that many wild creatures were protected by law.
Evidence and limits
This is a public wildlife-protection appeal, not a species survey or complete statement of applicable law.
