NJ’S VOLUNTEER WILDLIFE REHABBERS SEEK LAND TO RELEASE ANIMALS
MONMOUTH COUNTY, New Jersey. — Animal Rehabilitators Alliance of NJ (ARA) is in need of private property to release healthy, rehabilitated wildlife.
"I have been a state-licensed volunteer wildlife rehabilitator for over 15 years, and have seen the number of orphaned and severely injured wildlife continue to grow each year, and with that, so does the amount of space needed to release them,” said Melissa Jacobs, volunteer licensed rehabilitator and board member of ARA. "The state does not give us land to release, and we are not allowed to release on public property. Volunteer rehabilitators, who offer a public service at no cost to the taxpayers, need help from the public who are willing to offer their land to help New Jersey’s wildlife."
Property owners choose which animals are released, and will be educated on the specific species, its needs, natural behavior, and importance within the local ecosystem. Volunteer rehabilitators are also needed. For more information, please contact Melissa Jacobs at 732-775-5175.
Animal Rehabilitators Alliance is a group of animal professionals and enthusiasts that aims to educate the public about coexisting peacefully with wildlife and supporting rehabilitators in their efforts to save wildlife.
