Fan Works is thrilled to begin partnering with The Wildlife Center of Virginia. The Wildlife Center is a wonderful organization acting as “a hospital for native wildlife, teaching the world to care about and to care for wildlife and the environment.”

In the Center’s own words:

“The Wildlife Center of Virginia was formed in 1982 to provide quality health care, often on an emergency basis, to native wildlife.

Since 1982, the Wildlife Center has:

• treated more than 50,000 wild animals, representing 200 species of native birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians
• shared the lessons learned from these cases with some 1.4 million school-children and adults across Virginia
• trained a corps of wildlife medicine practitioners, including veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and volunteer wildlife rehabilitators. Those who have benefited from the professional training programs offered by the Center may now be found on the cutting-edge of wildlife veterinary medicine around the world.

In 2007, the Wildlife Center received the National Conservation Achievement Award as the Conservation Organization of the Year from the National Wildlife Federation.”

Fan Works will begin working with the Center this year on a wide range of projects helping them to get the word out on all the stellar work they do.

We’re eagerly looking forward to working with such a committed and valuable group of folks {and critters}. If you have a moment, check out their site and learn about who they are, news and events from the Center, and how you can help.
