Gov. Maura Healey has given permission for Nibi, a 2-year-old beaver, to continue residing at the Newhouse Wildlife Rescue as an educational animal. Nibi, who was found on the side of the road in Sturbridge, has been cared for by the wildlife rehabilitation center in Chelmsford for the past two years. Healey praised Nibi for capturing the hearts of many residents and expressed excitement at the opportunity for her to continue educating the public about beavers and the importance of protecting wildlife.
In a statement, Healey expressed her gratitude to the state’s wildlife biologists who work tirelessly to care for the wildlife in Massachusetts. She hopes that Nibi’s presence will inspire more people to advocate for the preservation of the natural world.
The decision to allow Nibi to remain at the Newhouse Wildlife Rescue comes after the center’s efforts to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the young beaver. By serving as an educational animal, Nibi will continue to raise awareness about the role of beavers in the ecosystem and the importance of conservation.
With the permit issued by Gov. Maura Healey, Nibi will be able to stay at the wildlife rehabilitation center and continue her important work as an ambassador for Massachusetts wildlife. Her story serves as a reminder of the dedicated efforts of wildlife rehabilitators and the need to protect and preserve our natural world.
