These volunteers come from throughout the state of Nebraska and help rescue wild animals in their area and transport them all or part of the way to our Baldwin Wildlife Center for care. (Valid driver's license, vehicle, and insurance required. Training required.)
NWR's current COVID-19 policy requires all volunteers working around the animals (including transporters) to be COVID vaccinated with a vaccine/booster that has been received within the last 12 months. We have this policy due to certain species of wild animals we get in, like bobcats & mustelids, that can contract and die from COVID-19.
Volunteers must be over the age of 18. NWR is currently unable to reimburse fuel/mileage.
