Welcome!

WRR regrets to inform our communities and partners that our organization will NOT intake injured or orphaned wildlife this year. We are, however, available by phone to provide guidance, should you encounter any injured or orphaned wildlife. We may also be able to transport wildlife for you to another local rescue facility (see phone numbers below).

Hamilton Raptor Center – Penn Valley, Nevada County

Sierra Wildlife Rescue – Diamond Springs, El Dorado County

Our goal for 2025 is to grow our organization through the expansion of programs we have offered in the past and increase community involvement through volunteerism and education. If you would like to support these efforts as a volunteer, you can help in the following ways:

• Wildlife transfers
• Phone lines
• Fundraising
• Public education regarding the importance of wildlife and wildlife rescue

We encourage you to attend our trainings, workshops, and events – see calendar below.
