The Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Society (CWRS) works closely with Alberta's Fish and Wildlife Department in responding to wildlife rescue calls that involve large mammals trapped in the city.
The CWRS also works with many Calgary veterinary clinics in accepting wildlife from the general public. These clinics donate their time to providing initial treatment before the animals are transferred to the CWRS facility.
Trained volunteers respond to wildlife rescues and assist staff with medical treatments and post-operative care. Animals at the CWRS facilities are not only given food, shelter, medical attention and rehabilitation training, but also lots of love. As much as possible, when the animal is ready, it is released back into the wild.
Besides rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife, the CWRS also offers other services to the community. CWRS has an exceptional education program that we offer to school children, community groups and interested organizations all over the Calgary area.
The CWRS also participates in and conducts studies on the types of wildlife received and related research.
Are you interested in having a volunteer from Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Society come to your school or group to give a presentation on the work the Society does?
A volunteer and usually one of our permanent resident owls or hawks (when available) will visit your school so you can learn more about wildlife. We are also able to do adult presentations regarding our organization and the wildlife we treat.
