Wildlife needs people – and there are real, meaningful ways you can help.

Birdsong Raptor and Wildlife Center is committed to supporting wildlife not just through our own efforts, but by helping others get involved in the larger network of care across Pennsylvania. Through active involvement in wildlife response and rehabilitation support, we understand how critical it is to connect animals in need with the right resources – quickly and safely.

Here’s how you can help:

  • Volunteer with a licensed wildlife rehabilitator – find a rehab near you →

  • Assist with transport and rescue through organizations like Wildlife In Need PA – get involved →

  • Donate or fundraise to support wildlife hospitals and rehabilitation centers – donate to BRWC →

  • Be prepared – know who to call and what to do if you find an injured or orphaned animal – learn what to do →

 

Wildlife rehabilitation is a team effort – and there is a place for everyone in it.

BRWC plays an active role in this network by supporting rescue and transport efforts, working alongside established rehabilitation partners, and helping ensure animals in crisis reach licensed professionals for care. At the same time, we are building toward our future as a licensed rehabilitation center – expanding our ability to directly serve wildlife in need.
