How to help licensed wildlife rehabilitators:

Wildlife rehabilitation is a labor love & compassion. Many licensed wildlife rehabilitators are not paid & lack funding from the state or federal government.

Many work full time jobs on top of rehabbing wildlife day & night, while taking calls from the public, caring for their families, & their pets. Baby season is tremendously draining emotionally, physically, & financially for these very special individuals.

They rely heavily on donations & to help with the costs of formulas, medications, medical supplies, vet bills, cleaning supplies, etc.

Please be kind to them & if you can not donate, ask if there are supplies they may need. You can offer to volunteer or help with transport. And if those aren't options, follow them on social media, like & share their posts so others can see what an amazing group of people rehabilitators are!

Fun night! We had a full house for our annual dinner last night. Excellent program by Ryan Goldberg. Thanks to all who enjoyed it with us. And to all our volunteers who made it happen. Beautiful flower arrangements by Mark Magel and Eva Andersen at each table and all around the room. More pics to come, I’m sure. Big thanks to Mariandale who were marvelous hosts.
