My Nonprofit Reviews

The Wildlife Center of Virginia (WVC), a hospital for native wildlife, mission is to teach the world to care about and to care for wildlife and the environment. They demonstrate in countless ways in many and through many formats. I have had the sincere pleasure of meeting most of the staff who are employed at this wonderful organization. They are truly a dedicated and compassionate group. Treating, and rehabilitating native wildife for release back to the wild is what WCV is well known for, and they are stellar. That said, one of the things I most value and appreciate about WCV is their outreach and education. Through the use of critter cams and their online moderated discussion, the WCV has significantly increased the number of people they reach and teach on a daily basis. Through a personal touch and with humor, the message of caring for our wildlife and our environment has been woven into the fabric of many lives, resulting in changed behavior and new "greener" practices. As one viewer stated "I want to let WCV know how much we appreciate them letting us be good friends to one another as we learn about wildlife. I so appreciate being able to learn in a warm, caring, humor-filled, personal attention environment - it makes a HUGE difference. WCV holds a VERY special place in my heart and I am so glad that we have this blog as a place to call home!" Because of WCV, many of us not longer throw our apples cores out the car window, we keep our cats indoors, we move a turtle off the road to the other side--in the direction he was going, and we learn more about how to care for our wildlife and our environment every day. And, we enjoy doing it.
