Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah (WRCNU) is dedicated to helping sick, injured and orphaned wildlife. Address is mailing, NOT physical address.
On Monday, May 15th 2023 we must close until we find the funding to purchase property & build our new facility.
๐ข We are devastated, but we will make this as short as possible.
We need "cash in hand" to buy & build which will take time.
Please remain with us. โค๏ธ
While we are shutdown this season to begin our Property Campaign and moving, where will little ones like this orphaned Yellow-bellied Marmot go!?! ๐ข
Latest Release of a current patient back to his home territory! ๐ท
This male American Kestrel arrived after being trapped in a chimney. He was evaluated and released quickly with a better body condition score than when he arrived. ๐ท

The Melling Family Foundation has pledged $10K in a matching grant if we can raise another $10K from our supporters. Please share. Visit our FB page or website for donating. Vemno is WRCNU1
This is just the beginning, but it will help immensely!
The Wildlife Rehabilitation Center for Northern Utah was recently told by Ogden City it will have to move by September. 4000+ animals are brought here a year after being injured. We're doing a story with the facility for our @KSL5TV 5:00 and 6:30 newscasts. #ksltv
Female Belted Kingfisher with collision injuries (head trauma and shoulder). We hope to get her back out quick enough to get back with her mate during the breeding season.
If our Doors were closed, she'd have no second chance.

@merjer40 GoFundMe is in work. Donations accepted on our website https://t.co/tNATabIlBL with links to PayPal, credit, and Venmo (WRCNU1).
We are also expecting a matching gift grant in a few days.
Unless things change with Ogden City, it looks like we will be closing our doors to new patients until we can relocate. Where will the sick, injured an orphaned wildlife like this beautiful American Bald Eagle go? ๐ข
These orphaned Osprey youngsters were nestlings saved from high-water on Lake Powell. They were not releasable & thankfully for WRCNU and its many partnerships across the nation they are now in their forever home at the @BronxZoo as Ed. Ambassadors. What if ... WRCNU was not ...?
@Monti_B_Art asking people to contact the Ogden City Mayor is a big part of this. [email protected] and helping with our move funding is most important as this stage. https://t.co/8sAjhPXrII Venmo at WRCNU1 and SHARING this with anyone and everyone! โค๏ธ
@UtahDWR@JennKnitsStuff@BenWinslow@EmilyTencerTV Without more time to relocate, we will have to shutdown soon while we put all of our efforts into raising funds and locating that property & Building on it. We currently receive over 4,000 phone calls/month during peak season (May-Sep). A lot of calls & animals will go unserved.
Two more (Barn) Owls just moments before being caught up to release Saturday evening.
A Male (left) and Female (right) Common Barn Owl. Named โCommonโ due to the fact this is the most common owl in the world. Barn Owls are on every continent with the one exception of Antarctica!
We can only continue to help the human impacted wildlife we treat and release thanks to your public donations. More than 23,000 treated since 2009! ๐คฉ
Female Great Horned Owl just moments before being caught up to release Saturday evening. Take notice of those deadly โMeat Hooksโ sheโs sporting on each toe. Be wary the critter who crosses her path in the dark ๐ฒ
@AddledPixie @duncraft Birds have been known to "bath" on ant hills. The ants will crawl on the bird and help remove louse (blood & feather mites) from the bird's body/feathers.
Two Red-breasted Nuthatch siblings, orphaned for unknown reason, but doing well at WRCNU.
Now after a few weeks of care and having the chance to strengthen their natural/instinctive skills they are ready to try out the world on their own terms. #ReadyForRelease!
