National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association

As a Minnesota-based organization, NWRA is excited to participate in Give to the Max, an annual giving day to celebrate and support Minnesota nonprofits. This year’s theme, "Minnesota, Stitched: When Minnesota frays, giving mends the seams" resonates deeply with us. NWRA's mission is to connect wildlife rehabilitators and strengthen the field as a whole, much like stitching individual squares together to create a quilt. Every donation adds another thread to that effort, connecting wildlife rehabilitators with the resources, knowledge, and support they need to protect the animals in their care.

NWRA has been at the forefront of helping wildlife rehabilitators and veterinary professionals achieve best practice standards for over 45 years. With offerings that range from publications, including the Wildlife Rehabilitation Bulletin, the only open-access journal dedicated to wildlife rehabilitation, to our virtual and in-person courses, to our annual Symposium, that hosts more than 475 attendees and provides in-person opportunities to learn, collaborate, and engage, NWRA is committed to providing educational resources to the wildlife community.

Today is your chance to support NWRA in continuing to provide the publications and programs that so many in the wildlife community value and use daily. Books such as Quick Reference, Standards for Wildlife Rehabilitation, Wildlife Formulary, and the Topics in Wildlife Medicine series are found in classrooms, wildlife rehabilitation centers, veterinary clinics, and the offices of independent rehabilitators around the world.

If you would like to know more about what our publications and programs mean to the wildlife professional community, watch this video with Genevieve Salerno, an NWRA member and educator at SUNY Delphi in NY, speak about her experience with NWRA publications directly:

Join us in our mission to educate and support active wildlife rehabilitators and educators, like Genevieve, as we expand the knowledge base for the field and offer reliable sources of information that support professional care for wild animals and people. 

By donating today, your support will ensure that we will continue to provide up-to-date publications which will empower rehabilitators across the continent to successfully treat wildlife. If you'd like to meet a few more of our wildlife rehabilitator community, watch a video we put together for National Wildlife Rehabilitator Day with wildlife professionals sharing their reason for dedicating their life's work to wildlife rehabilitation.
