About WRT
WRT is dedicated solely to the rescue and rehabilitation of Nebraska's orphaned and injured wildlife, and its return to its natural habitat. WRT was founded in 1979 in Lincoln, Nebraska. Working under state and federal permits, WRT is a non-profit, independent, all volunteer organization, made up of caring individuals from all walks of life. They share a common bond, a love and respect for wildlife.
WRT members show their concern in a variety of ways: hands-on animal care, transportation, phone duty, public relations, education, cage-building, and fund-raising. Besides wildlife rescue, WRT provides educational programs to civic groups, including senior citizens groups, Scout troops, school classes, churches, and nature centers. These presentations explain the importance of the ecosystem and the balance of nature, as well as the role of Wildlife Rescue Team, Inc. in rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife.
The value of WRT's work and that of other wildlife rehabilitation groups is recognized on a national and international scale. Wildlife Rescue Team, Inc. is a three-time winner of the national "Take Pride in America" award.
Wildlife Rescue Team, Inc. operates with no federal, state or city funding, but depends totally upon private contributions, membership fees and donations of supplies and services. It takes a great deal of time and money to provide the necessary care for the rehabilitation of wildlife. No salaries are paid to any member. Funds go to enhancing public awareness, to purchase food, medicine, caging materials, and veterinary care.
