Welcome to Wildlife Rescue Team, Inc.
Helping injured, orphaned and abandoned wildlife in the state of Nebraska since 1979.
UPDATE ON AVIAN INFLUENZA
We are finally able to help rescue and rehab birds again! We are still getting calls on fledglings who need to be left alone for the parents to care for them, along with some injured fledgling and/or adult birds. We typically get birds in the fall when they migrate through and are injured on power lines, when they hit a window, etc. If you have bird questions, please give us a call at 402-473-1951!

Our volunteers are available from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week, including holidays. The Hotline Number is a 24 hour answering service available for after hours, to take messages. There are some volunteers that are available for after-hours calls, depending on the type of animal.
Please call the Hotline if you have questions about a wild animal, need assistance with an injured or orphaned animal or you would like more information on becoming a member of WRT! Our monthly meetings take place every second Tuesday at Grace Lutheran Church at 22nd & Washington in Lincoln. 7 p.m.
During the spring and summer months our volunteers are very busy with animal care. If there is any way you can transport the animal to a WRT member, it would be very helpful and much appreciated. The on-call person can direct you to the closest WRT volunteer available based on your location. |
