About The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center Of The
Hamptons:
The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center,
Inc. is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to the
rehabilitation of wild animals impacted by encroachment of
humans on their habitat. It is a grass roots organization
that grew from a few concerned friends to a group of over
1000 members and supporters. The center is a full-time
professional wildlife hospital staffed by licensed
rehabilitators, biologists, animal behaviorists and
volunteers. Over 100 people have been trained to assist in
wildlife rescues. The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue
Center is located on Munn’s Pond Park through a cooperative
licensing agreement with Suffolk County Department of Parks,
Recreation and Conservation. The center is situated on a
greenbelt of public land parcels totaling several thousand
acres and stretches from Tiana Bay to Peconic Bay located on
the eastern end of Long Island, NY. This is a unique and
irreplaceable ecosystem consisting of salt and fresh water
wetlands, Pine Barrens, deciduous forest and meadowland. It
is the perfect setting for a wildlife rehabilitation center.
The hospital is designed exclusively for wild animals.
Unlike a veterinary hospital, there are no ambient noises or
smells to stress the wildlife that are recovering within.
The Wildlife Rescue Center receives over 10,000 calls each
year for information or assistance with wild animal
encounters. We also provide educational programs to local
elementary and secondary schools. Students from local
colleges participate in cooperative education programs and
internships. The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center
annual operating budget exceeds $350,000, almost all of
which comes from the generosity of people like you. Thank
you for your continued support and generosity.
