Wildlife Rehabilitation
It is illegal for the general public to attempt
to rehabilitate or keep wild animals. CCEEC is a state and federally
licensed wildlife rehabilitation facility with unique capabilities
to care for wildlife. Each year, through a partnership with local
veterinarians, hundreds of sick, injured, orphaned and displaced
animals are treated with the goal of eventual release back into
their natural habitat. Though specializing in raptors (birds of
prey), the center ensures that all species of wildlife are cared
for in the same professional manner, be it furred, feathered, or
scaled.
Chief Naturalist and licensed wildlife rehabilitator,
Susan Gallagher, oversees the rescue, emergency care, housing, and
release operations. Susan also occupies a seat on the Pennsylvania
Game Commission’s Wildlife Rehabilitators Council, and is
a charter member of the Pennsylvania Association of Wildlife Rehabilitators
(PAWR). |
