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 Give to the Max theme is Giving that Gathers Us, celebrating the ways in which generosity brings our communities closer together. This message resonates with us as we plan for the future of NWRA and look to build upon the formidable roots of community that we’ve established over the past 43 years. 

NWRA is at the forefront of helping wildlife rehabilitators and veterinary professionals achieve best practice standards across the spectrum. 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 $10 or more today, your donation will ensure that we will continue to provide up-to-date publications which will empower rehabilitators across the continent to successfully treat wildlife.
