Appalachian Wildlife Refuge is a nonprofit that coordinates the needs of wildlife rehabilitation in Western North Carolina providing care for injured and orphaned wildlife, support for the wildlife rehabilitation network and conservation education to the community.
For decades, Western North Carolina’s home-based volunteer wildlife rehabilitators have been overwhelmed and the community has needed more resources along with a dedicated place to bring wildlife in crisis.
In October of 2014, Appalachian Wildlife Refuge was established by a team of volunteers with the depth of knowledge, experience, and expertise to bring the wish of a Wildlife Urgent Care facility to life. With thoughtful planning, generous support and the extensive commitment of volunteers, the Appalachian Wild Urgent Care facility opened on July 6, 2018. Appalachian Wild is very busy providing transport and triage to wildlife in crisis as well as engaging and educating the public about native wildlife. |
