The W. Clement Stone Nature Center
sponsors an all volunteer, state and
federally licensed,  wildlife rehabilitation
group that cares for between 1000 to 2000
animals each year from the  northeast
Kansas area.  Over 25 volunteer
rehabilitators and veterinarians care for
animals from all over the NE Kansas area.

The dedicated volunteers of wildlife
rehabilitation operate a daily hotline that
helps people who find animals get help
quickly.

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.
