Each year we treat as many as 3,500 ill, injured and orphaned wild animals in our wildlife hospital, teach 20,000+ children and adults through our acclaimed environmental education programs, and advocate for wildlife at the local, state and national levels.Since our hospitals founding, we have treated and cared for more than 120,000 wild animal patients, and we have engaged more than 1,000,000 children and adults through environmental learning experiences and advocacy. false false 1599525 Each year, WildCare delivers world-class medical care to as many as 3,500 ill, injured and orphaned wild animal patients in our open-admission wildlife hospital. Over the course of our history in wildlife medicine, we have given more than 120,000 wild animals a second chance at life in the wild.WildCares patients represent more than 200 different species, and over 90% of the wild animals we have helped have been injured or orphaned as a result of human interaction. Our goal is always to treat and heal our wild animal patients, and release them back to their wild lives. 865210 WildCares Terwilliger Nature Education programs provide school and youth programs, as well as family nature outings, which connect over 16,000 children and adults to the Bay areas abundant open spaces and wildlife. Our programs aim to strengthen environmental stewardship and responsibility by teaching an appreciation of nature and a respect for wildlife. Our experiential and academically supportive approach to environmental education attracts participation from more than 130 schools and community organizations for the eight Bay Area counties. Through our scholarship program, WildCare is able to provide our programs to students from disadvantaged and low-income backgrounds, so these students no longer have to miss out on nature discovery opportunities that ignite a sense of excitement about science and foster personal connections to the natural world. Through free family nature outings, our robust scholarship and bilingual programming (Spanish/English) ensure that children and families from diverse backgrounds have equal access to environmental education. This is a non-cash scholarship program. The scholarship is a discount of WildCares normal educational program fees using the percentage of the student body used to establish eligibility under the free and reduced lunch program of each school. In past years, an estimated 34% of students participating in our youth programs received a scholarship. WildCares advocacy efforts are committed to preventing wildlife injuries, protecting habitat, and promoting understanding of our wildlife neighbors. Our Living with Wildlife Hotline 415-456-7283 supplies advice on safely rescuing injured and orphaned animals and living well with wildlife to over 15,000 callers each year. Our advocacy team speaks out and encourages community action against harms to wildlife including the use of rat poisons, illegal trapping, tree-trimming during wildlife baby season and many more. 2464735 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false true false false false false false true true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true 7 0 true 36 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X ROBERT KENDALL 4154531000 76 ALBERT PARK LANE SAN RAFAEL CA 94901 ELLYN WEISEL EXEC.
