This project provides ongoing support for the Rockfish Wildlife Sanctuary's crucial wildlife rehabilitation and education work. Your gift helps us rescue, rehabilitate, and release more than 1,000 orphaned and injured native wild animals annually at our beautiful facility in Nelson County, Virginia. Your support also helps us present dozens of accessible educational programs annually that educate communities across the state about wild animals, their habitats, and conservation efforts.
As urban development continues in Virginia, native wildlife needs a helping hand. All too often, wild animals are orphaned, injured, or displaced due to human activity. Increased development destroys wildlife habitat, cars hit wildlife, domestic pets hunt and capture wildlife, trees are cut down and nests of baby birds, squirrels, and raccoons are orphaned - sadly, the list goes on.
Rockfish Wildlife Sanctuary provides professional, compassionate rehabilitative care to more than 1,000 wild animals annually at our beautiful facility in Nelson County, Virginia with the goal of releasing them back to the wild where they belong. Our staff and team of non-releasable education ambassador animals also help to educate residents of Central Virginia about the habitats and needs of native wildlife through accessible programming throughout the year.
By rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing orphaned and injured native wildlife, Rockfish Wildlife Sanctuary's lifesaving work for wildlife supports a healthy, balanced ecosystem in our backyards and beyond. Through our educational programming and wildlife crisis hotline, we work to ensure a vibrant and compassionate future for wild animals and humans alike.
