There has been a tremendous response with more wands coming in than ever imagined! This movement is incredibly inspiring and uplifting with so many people taking action. 
​
​As a result of the outpouring of compassion and large quantities coming in, we are transitioning to only accept wands twice a year in October & February.
There are hundreds of orphans in the facility this spring baby season, and the urgent need is for funds and supplies.

​Give these orphans a second chance at life in the wild!

Wands for Wildlife®​ - accepting wands in October & February

Old mascara wands are used to remove fly eggs and larva from the fur and feathers of wild animals. They work great because the bristles are close together.
​
Gather old mascara wands and donations to help the wild ones by hosting a Wands for Wildlife®​ Wandraiser! ​Be sure to let everyone know about the online Wishlist of food and supplies for the care and treatment of the injured and orphaned wild ones.
Before mailing, wash wands in warm soapy water to remove residual mascara. ​In October and February, mail form, old wands & donations to: P.O. Box 1211, Skyland, NC 28776. Check postage & packaging requirements at your local post office. 
Please do not purchase new wands - the program is for recycling old wands. ​Instead, donate food or supplies from the Wishlist  or make a donation.

Wands for Wildlife®​ Shirts!

With the wave of a magic wand, wild lives are being saved. ​Show your support & buy a shirt.

Please help save wild lives by donating food and supplies for their care and treatment. Be sure to select "Appalachian Wildlife Refuge" as your charity when purchasing items through AmazonSmile.
