What is a rehabilitator?
A. EWRC rehabbers are volunteers that provide supportive care for wild birds and small mammals after they have been treated by the veterinarian. We are state licensed for all mammals, and state and federally licensed for birds. This is work that requires a strong commitment and work ethic, as during peak season there are no days off. This is physically demanding work as well, not to mention stressful at times. And financially draining. Rehab dropout and burnout is high. But one of the greatest rewards is the successful rehab and release of the animals you’ve spent all that time and energy caring for. Q. How do I become a wildlife rehabilitator?

To obtain these licenses, you must first become sponsored by a licensed rehabilitator. Pleas contact us for additional information. Q. What medical services does EWRC p
