Review for Sierra Wildlife Rescue, Placerville, CA, USA
I have attended 6 training classes. Each instructor has been extremely experienced and educated regarding their topic matter. Instructors have also included veterinarians that perform wildlife medical treatments.
The experienced rehabbers are very good about mentoring new rehabbers to make sure the wildlife is medically treated properly and the novice can handle the long term care of the animal.
I think the long term dedicated volunteers have very good communication. Whenever I need information they are quick to answer my inquiry or contact the next person in the organization that can be of assistance. The volunteers donate an enormous amount of personal time to ensure the success of Sierra Wildlife Rescue as a viable organization for our community.
The workshops are varied and respected that they attract rehabbers from other wildlife organizations and even the Forest Service to attend.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I have talked with full time rehabbers and they show me pictures of the injuries they have healed and animals they released back into the wild.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Find a way to pay salary for up to two people to permanently staff the office and do fund raising. Development of a small and informative natural history exhibit and demonstrations. As with any volunteer organization that relies on limited funding to operate, the buildings that have housed the office, primary education space, and rehab space has had its limitations. The current building is the most appropriate so far but still needs improvement. They need more parking space too!
