NWRA IS 30 IN 2012!

It was the early spring of 1983 and Howell Nature Center had been doing rehabilitation for about eight months. During those months we had a few successes and made a whole lot of mistakes. We were struggling for information, education, and contact with others in order to make appropriate and informed decisions regarding our wildlife patients.

We heard about the new NWRA organization from our veterinarian and decided to attend the symposium being held in Chicago. We were like kids in a candy store! The caliber of speakers and the amount of information shared was awesome. Those few days were amazing. Looking back at that symposium and the others that have followed, plus the resources and mentors that have come through NWRA, I can truly say we are the Center we are today because of NWRA. Our successes with the 30,000 plus animals that our rehabilitation program has helped since 1982 can be traced back to the NWRA and the symposiums, resources, and people that have been there for us!

Now that NWRA is turning 30 in 2012, I encourage all who have benefited from the services provided to us by this fine organization to say Happy Birthday and Thank You by joining the “30-Something Club.” Your donation and membership helps the NWRA stay in the forefront of current rehabilitation techniques and helps to resource and educate not only today’s rehabilitators, but tomorrow’s as well. It is time for us to give back and say thank you!
