Mission: The Blue Ridge Wildlife Center is a wildlife conservation organization dedicated to preserving native wildlife. Our wildlife hospital rescues, rehabilitates, then releases injured, orphaned, and sick native wildlife, of which most have been harmed by human development. Our organization monitors and controls wildlife diseases and toxins and keeps the community informed about the health of our wildlife and our environment. We offer wildlife environmental education programs and informational newsletters that increase understanding of the valuable role of wildlife in our environment.
Programs: We rescue, give veterinary care to, and rehabilitate over 1,500 injured, orphaned, and ill native wild animals from Northern Virginia and Eastern West Virginia every year. These animals are brought to us by the public, animal control officers, SPCAs and animal shelters, veterinary offices, and the police and game wardens.
