Are you a good candidate to be a rehabber?

Trainees Must Live Within 30 Miles of Raleigh, NC

* All new accepted applicants will be asked to apply for an Apprentice License from the Wildlife Resources Commission and will be assigned a licensed mentor for a minimum of one year. This is the required process for all incoming rehabbers throughout North Carolina.

*Since the state requires a mentor for each new trainee there will be times that we do not have a mentor in your area. A mentor needs to be close enough to work with you in an emergency.

*Training is limited to the active months of baby season. You can still submit an application off-season.

**We are in Central NC and only train rehabbers within 30 miles of Raleigh, NC**
