Fellow Rehabilitators:

We need your assistance with a bill pending in the state legislature in Trenton that would seriously jeopardize the work of rehabilitators in New Jersey. The bill (S-1864) would remove oversight of New Jersey’s orphaned and injured wildlife from the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife (NJDFW), and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), to an independent board. We believe oversight of orphaned and injured wildlife should remain with the NJDEP/DFW, as it has the authority to enforce existing regulations and serve the needs of all wildlife rehabilitators, not the select few who are pursuing this bill. Therefore, we need you to contact your local State Senator CLICK HERE for further instructions on how you can help!

This time of the year is a great opportunity to focus on continued education. Stay up to date with wildlife diseases, treatments, and all that pertains to the wild critters that we rehabilitate. Learn more

Dear Members,

NJAWR would like to announce a new easy-reference brochure, “Help! I found a wild animal…What should I do now?” Designed to assist wildlife rehabilitators, ACOs, shelters, and other animal care professionals, the brochure provides basic information for the general public on how to determine if a wild animal needs help, how to safely secure it, and how to find the nearest licensed rehabilitator. Common baby season scenarios are included!

The brochure is now available to download! Click Here!

About Us...

The New Jersey Association of Wildlife Rehabilitators (NJAWR) began with a meeting between licensed New Jersey wildlife rehabilitators and representatives of the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife (NJDF&W) to discuss issues directly affecting the rehabilitation community. Incorporated as a non-profit organization the following year (1991), NJAWR continues to serve as an excellent resource for information and educational opportunities for wildlife rehabilitators and many other individuals working in related fields.

Our Mission...

Encourage professionalism and standardization within the field of wildlife rehabilitation. Provide proper and timely dissemination of information among all persons handling wildlife. Offer workshops, seminars and newsletters providing up-to-date information on wildlife care, policy changes, new products, new techniques and many other topics pertinent to the handling of wildlife. Ensure that all groups handling wildlife are doing so with the best information available.		Eastern Cottontail - Sylvilagus floridanus
