Welcome to the Wildlife Rescue Coalition of Northeast Florida, Inc.
The Wildlife Rescue Coalition of Northeast Florida, Inc. is a group of citizens, volunteers, experts, rehabilitators, veterinarians, and wildlife advocates who have come together to make sure that wildlife in Northeast Florida is being taken care of when they can't fend for themselves. This need is not currently being met in our region and since the splendor of Florida's wildlife belongs to all of us, we want to do what we can to protect it, responsibly!
Mission Statement
To ensure respect for all wildlife through education and conservation,
while providing orphaned, injured and displaced animals with a second
chance at life.
Goals & Objectives
- Set up and maintain a system to provide assistance to those who find orphaned, injured and displaced wildlife.
- Facilitate establishment and maintenance of physical facilities to treat and rehabilitate wildlife.
- Identify areas for release of rehabilitated wildlife.
- Recruit and train volunteers and rehabilitators to care for wildlife.
- Educate the community about Northeast Florida wildlife issues.
Current Developments
We have established an emergency hotline that allows the public to get distressed wildlife information and help from a wildlife expert immediately. The hotline number is: (904) 779-5569. Don't hesitate to call! Getting the needed information often makes the difference between life and death.
Our foundation is developing a directory of resources that is designed for public use so that all of us can effectively attend to various Northeast Florida wildlife issues.
We are also constructing a survey and inventory system that will be useful for identifying the resources needed to ensure that Florida's wildlife will be preserved for future generations. This involves the review of our community's wildlife care professionals, as well as determining the ongoing needs of our wildlife!
