Volunteer

Bidwell Wildlife Rehabilitation is run entirely by volunteers. Without the dedication of our community, we simply couldn’t do what we do.

All wildlife care happens in our homes—challenging at times, but always worth it. One day, we hope to open a full rehabilitation center. Until then, we’re always looking for caring volunteers to help in a variety of ways.
If you have the time, space, dedication, and key skillsets, we are most often willing to train in new rehab volunteers. Especially for songbirds, this is always one of our largest needs.

Wildlife rehabilitation in your home requires a safe, quiet, climate controlled area such as a spare bedroom, spare bathroom, or outbuilding where the wildlife can be housed. This area should be away from household pets. BWR will never give a new volunteer more than they can handle.​

Have experience hand-rearing birds or rehabilitating wildlife? We’re seeking dedicated volunteers with the time and space to help care for injured and orphaned wildlife in truly rewarding, hands-on roles.
