Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center

Our mission at the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center is to preserve and protect our region’s native wildlife by providing rehabilitation services and education to raise public awareness of the factors that threaten its abundance and diversity. We are one of the only wildlife rehabilitation hospitals on Long Island, and the only hospital to serve the East End.

Our Center takes in over 2,000 injured, orphaned, and sick wild animals every year. We accept all native species of wildlife, from sparrows to deer and everything in between. Our skilled and dedicated staff provide comprehensive medical care and expert husbandry to hundreds of species with the goal of returning these animals to the wild.

Our educational services include public programming, special events, and school programs designed to raise awareness of wildlife concerns and promote peaceful coexistence with our wild neighbors. Our team of educators work with our non-releasable wildlife ambassadors to allow members of the public to appreciate these incredible animals up-close.
