Mission
to achieve excellence in the field of wildlife rehabilitation and to promote public awareness and education in order to preserve it
Program accomplishments
- Approx 215 uncompensated volunteers operated our state-of-the-art wildlife hospital in Holland NY under the supervision of veterinarians. This year approx 731 animals were treated at the hospital or home cared for by the volunteers, including rabbits, squirrels, opossum, geese, turkey, song birds, hawks, owls, woodchucks, woodpeckers, turtles, mink, weasels, woodpeckers, heron and more. Numerous birds of prey were rehabilitated in the hospital complexes two large flight cages before release, the larger flight cage being 165 feet long x 35 feet wide x 40 feet high and approved by the US Fish and Wildlife Dept for treatment of bald eagles (1 of 3 in NY State). 5 bald eagles were rehabilitated, exercised, and released this year. These unique flight cages allowed MW to support other wildlife groups, including Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. This year there were numerous seminars or talks. Public assistance via phone logged 1484 calls, although numerous other calls went unlogged because of time.Expenses $64,872 · revenue $49,811
