2024 WWRA Rehabilitation Conference

Join us for the annual WWRA conference! We are excited to host this year’s conference in Madison, WI at the Goodman Community Center. The annual conference is a great time to connect in-person for a full day with fellow wildlife rehabilitators, volunteers, veterinarians, and wildlife enthusiasts. It’s also a great way to get in your required continuing education credits for your state rehabilitation license or CWR.

Come for the lectures, stay for the people, and leave with some great raffle prizes. 🙂 We can’t wait to see you there!

Speaker topics include biosecurity, identifying internal and external parasites, bobcat rehabilitation, WDNR updates, USGS National Wildlife Health Center updates, reuniting avians - raptors, waterfowl, and songbirds, release considerations, post-release monitoring, and an introduction to pharmacology.

Keynote Speaker: Gail Buhl
