ABOUT THE
EVELYN ALEXANDER WILDLIFE RESCUE CENTER OF THE HAMPTONS:
The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center of the Hamptons
is a nonprofit wildlife hospital dedicated to the
rehabilitation of injured, sick and orphaned wild animals in
order to return them to their natural habitat. The Center is
a full-time professional wildlife hospital staffed by
veterinarians, licensed rehabilitators, biologists,
animal
behaviorists and volunteers.
The Center also provides educational programs to
local elementary and secondary schools, and invites students
from local colleges participate in cooperative education
programs and internships. A grassroots organization, the
Center has grown from a few concerned friends to a group of
more than 1,000 members and supporters, and receives more
than 10,000 requests for information or assistance each
year. Located in a unique and irreplaceable ecosystem,
the facility consists of
salt and fresh water wetlands, pine barrens, deciduous
forest and meadowland. The hospital at the Evelyn Alexander
Wildlife Rescue Center is designed exclusively for wild
animals. Unlike veterinary hospitals, the space is free of
any ambient noises or smells to stress the animals that are
recovering within. The Evelyn
Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center of the Hamptons, Inc. is a
