Outreach Programs 

Roanoke Wildlife Rescue is dedicated to helping orphaned and injured animals return to the wild. Community education is important in helping our wildlife. We offer Outreach Programs to provide experience and information that helps foster awareness and understanding of Virginia wildlife. Outreach programs give the audience an opportunity to get up close with different animals brought to you by trained animal handlers. RWR will bring non-releasable wildlife to your school or group event. This is an extraordinary opportunity to see animals from Virginia in a safe and managed environment and learn  interesting facts about how they benefit the environment, the dangers that they face and what we can do to protect them. Outreach Programs can be designed to educate any age group, time frame or subject.
