Join us for the annual WWRA conference! We are excited to host this year’s conference in Green Bay, WI at Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary. 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!
Our theme this year is "Back to Basics". Our conference is to help you be the best rehabber to wildlife patients that need a chance to be wild again! We work to honor all rehabbers at all levels-- the seasoned veteran, the new rehabilitator, subpermittees, volunteers, veterinarians, and students.
New this year-- we will be offering wet labs in addition to our 3 speaker tracks! We listened to your feedback and have some great labs coming together for you.
Topics at the conference include neonate raccoons, infant squirrels, turtle rehabilitation and release, release considerations, Great Horned Owls, waterfowl, opossums, and discussions about how to find and use the right tools as a rehabilitator working with the public and veterinarians. The talks are all courtesy of fantastic resources from the Wisconsin DNR, Brown County Health Department, Wisconsin's Green Fire, veterinarians and wildlife rehabilitators.
