Wildlife Center Of Virginia

The Wildlife Center of Virginia, a hospital for native wildlife, teaching the world to care about and to care for wildlife and the environment. The Wildlife Center of Virginia was formed in 1982 to provide quality healthcare, often on an emergency basis, to native wildlife. Since 1982, the Wildlife Center has: - treated more than 70,000 wild animals, representing more than 200 species of native birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. - shared the lessons learned from these cases with some 1.5 million school-children and adults across Virginia. - trained a corps of wildlife medicine practitioners, including veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and volunteer wildlife rehabilitators. Those who have benefited from the professional training programs offered by the Center may now be found on the cutting-edge of wildlife veterinary medicine around the world.
