How you can help
Start Here
I Found an Animal
Step-by-step guidance for birds, hummingbirds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians – plus what to do before you bring in an injured animal.
Volunteer With Us
Animal care, phones, office work, events and raptor handling. Volunteers assist staff in a variety of duties.
Book an Education Program
We bring live education birds into classrooms, clubs and workplaces across New Mexico — and we build every program around your group.
Our promise
Rescue, Rehabilitate, Release, Educate
Displaced wildlife are rescued by concerned people coming to their aid and rehabilitated back to health by trained staff and volunteers. Once healthy, animals are released back to the wild. Along the way we teach New Mexicans about the threats these animals face and how we can help.
