    Description

    Wildlife Transport Volunteer

    Wildlife comes to Appalachian Wild from all over WNC and beyond. To get them into the hands of wildlife rehabilitation experts, volunteers pick up wildlife and deliver them to Appalachian Wild's facility, other rehabilitation centers and home based rehabilitators for continued care.

    Being a "wildlife ambulance" is a necessary and rewarding part of the rehabilitation process. Volunteers are asked to commit to picking up at least 1 transport per month during our 'baby season' (March-September) or a total of 8 transports per year. Personal mode of transportation and GPS or other means of directions is required.

    Fill out a volunteer application on our website:
