History of the FWRA
Founded in 1988, the FWRA was formed by a group of wildlife rehabilitators who saw the need to network with others in the field. The vast majority of rehabilitators are one-person operations with little or no contact with others sharing the same interests.
The organization currently provides network and educational opportunities for the betterment of wildlife care. The annual FWRA Symposium offers basic and advanced training courses as well as varied speakers on topics, such as care of specific species, laws and regulations, organization management, wildlife restraint, care and feeding, songbird nutrition, reptile handling, feeding and care, seabird husbandry & medication, etc.
We can also offer fund raising education for nonprofit groups and finding ideas for individual rehabbers. Plus specialty programs for those interested. One example would be oil spill.
