When I was in college for my Wildlife Conservation and Biology degree, I was required to complete 15 hours of an internship. I found a local wildlife rehabilitation clinic nearby and decided to complete my hours there. I immediately fell in love with the work. After I completed my hours, I stayed on as a volunteer, was eventually hired on as staff, and continued to volunteer even after I moved out of state. Wildlife rehabilitation is tough work. Physically and emotionally. But the success stories make everything worth it. Seeing an animal arrive in a terrible condition and helping it gain the strength to live out the remainder of its life back in the wild is one of the most rewarding feelings. I can’t imagine my life without wildlife rehab.
