Who We Are
Wildlife Rehabilitation & Release
Working to save injured and orphaned wildlife from six counties of the California foothills and the valley below. For over 25 years, we have provided highly trained rehabilitators dedicated to serving all wildlife in our Cities, Riparian Communities, Oak Woodlands, Ponderosa Pine Forests and Open Grasslands.
Come one, come all, to our Open House at the new Intake Center, 799 Maltman Drive, Grass Valley, behind Mimi’s Hair Salon, on Saturday, May 19, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. Come meet our feathered educational ambassadors! We will also be selling wildlife-themed merchandise. See what we do, and how we do it! Questions? Email stleger5404@att.net.

About Our Organization
Wildlife Rehabilitation & Release is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of injured and orphaned wildlife. Each year our team successfully releases over 100 different species of native wildlife, including mammals, songbirds, raptors, waterfowl, reptiles and amphibians. As a non-profit, we are completely funded by our volunteers and by generous individuals such as yourself. If you would like to contribute to our cause, we thank you whole-heartedly. The wildlife thanks you as well.
