| The goal of wildlife rehabilitation at the Stone Nature Center is to release healthy animals back to the wildlife. Our trained rehabilitators work hard to avoid the animals in their care from becoming dependent on humans. |

| The Wildlife Rehabilitator Wildlife Rehabilitators must be licensed both by the state of Kansas and the US Fish & Wildlife service. To qualify for permits, most rehabilitators take courses and apprentice with experienced rehabbers. Rehabbers depend heavily on the services (most often donated) of local vets for the medical treatment of the animals. The rehabilitator provides the initial and ongoing care of the animal. |

| Hotline Volunteers and Transportors Desperately Needed!! You can help wildlife without becoming a wildlife rehabilitator. Stone Nature Center needs Topeka area volunteers to help answer our remotely operated wildlife rescue hotline, answer the public's questions and transport animals to the wildlife rehabilitators when necessary. A 2-3 hour training is provided to help get you started, with ongoing support from the rehabilitation team. Transport assistance is needed in the Lawrence area as well.
