Wildlife Triage Clinic is built and functional, though needs some finishing work on the inside…
We are seeking help via donations and volunteering\so we can finish the Wildlife Triage Clinic by painting, finishing the floors, adding a couple of more windows, electricity, insulation, and drywall to the interior of the Triage Clinic. The loft area above offers some much-needed space for storing supplies.
We are excited to announce that the EWRC Wildlife Care Center project is very slowly but very surely making good progress! Phase 1, the Wildlife Triage Clinic, was built yesterday. This is the area where individuals and agencies will bring wildlife that needs help; the place where intake paperwork will be completed, and the animals examined and assessed for placement to the new ICU, Nursery, and/or Quarantine (not built yet!) The Triage area will also be where, until the new Care Center is completed, wildlife will be placed during blizzards, when they must be removed from their outdoor enclosures for protection against the freezing temps and drifting snow. The Wildlife Triage Clinic to date has been made possible by funding from The Aiken Audubon Society, The Lawrence Foundation, the Animal Assistance Foundation, The Joseph Henry Edmondson Foundation, and Starlight and Larry Snell. We are still seeking donations of materials and/or funds to insulate and drywall (put up walls) for the Triage Clinic, as well as bring electricity to it. We still need to raise $20,000 to begin Phase 2 of the Wildlife Care Center project-to build the larger building for the ICU/Nursery/Quarantine areas-for animals.
