Every wildlife rehabilitator started the same way: with a love for animals and a desire to help.

Whether you're inspired by caring for orphaned baby squirrels, helping injured foxes recover, or giving birds a second chance to soar, wildlife rehabilitation is a meaningful way to protect New York's native wildlife.

As a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, you'll provide hands-on care for animals in need while playing an important role in conservation and educating your community.

It's challenging. It's rewarding. And every successful release reminds you why you started.

Wildlife needs people willing to answer the call.

Could that person be you?
