Review for Wildlife Center of Virginia, Waynesboro, VA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

IT would be hard to find a place as caring and conservative as the Wildlife Center of Virginia, in Waynesboro, VA. I have visited twice and found them to be among the most highly "green" organizations I have had the pleasure of seeing. They use green materials whenever possible, CAREFULLY monitor use of supplies, yet do what is necessary to care for the "critters" brought to them for rehab. Nothing is wasted at the Center - they even recycle toilet roll and paper towel roll cardboards!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Seeing the release of Bald Eagles, surgery on a Vulture, tours of the Center and the cages and flight pens. I am in awe of what they do.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Double their size and staff!
