Remember to leave fawns alone

Lost in the Woods book

"Lost in the Woods" is the winner of 12 prestigious awards, including the Mom's Choice Award.

It’s okay to leave fawns alone that you find alone in the woods. That’s the lesson in our best-selling children’s book Lost in the Woods. While a fawn found alone in the woods may seem vulnerable, they are rarely lost.

If you find a fawn alone in the woods, please leave it be. In most cases, it is not lost. It is doing what nature intended – hiding from predators until its mother returns.

Leave fawns alone so that the mother doe has a chance to return.

With even the best professional care possible, the survival rate of rehabilitated fawns and many other animals is very low, according to the informative article, “If You Find a Fawn, Leave it Alone“, from the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.

Leave fawns alone. Good advice for all of us who care about wildlife.
