New York Times article "More Traffic Brings More Wildlife CrashesLink to article Rehabilitators NeededIncreasing urbanization in Northern VA has resulted in more human/wildlife contact and conflict, with the wildlife usually the loser. More and more animals are injured or orphaned, thereby requiring rehabilitation by licensed wildlife rehabilitators. The need for rehabbers has never been greater. If you have a love for animals and a room in your house to devote to wildlife, you can be a rehabber. Please contact the WRL Volunteer Coordinator at volcoord@wildliferescueleague.org or call our admin line at 703-391-8625 for more details. The animals will thank you.

The Wildlife Rescue League The Wildlife Rescue League is a non-profit organization providing care for sick, injured and orphaned wildlife in order to return them to the wild. Our licensed rehabilitators, located throughout Virginia and suburban Maryland, work with animal shelters, humane societies, wildlife groups, nature centers and veterinary hospitals to provide care to creatures in need. WRL operates a wildlife hotline in the Northern Virginia and surrounding areas to assist the public in obtaining information and assistance in locating a wildlife rehabilitator. WRL is also committed to educating the public about the natural history of native wildlife, coexisting with it and preventing the need for wildlife rehabilitation. We can provide brochures, educational material and educational programs to suit your needs. If you are in Northern Virginia, or the DC Metro area and you find an animal that may need assistance, please call the Wildlife Hotline at (703) 440-0800 for advice. You can also read our online brochure: Does This Animal Need Help. If you are outside our service area, please check the Resources page for some suggestions on how to find assistance. The Wildlife Rescue League welcomes all who support the preservation of wildlife as volunteers and/or members.
