Scholarships for the New York State Wildlife
Rehab Conference

Ravensbeard awarded three scholarships for new people to attend our State Conference. New York boasts one of the best in the country. We were pleased to offer work/study scholarships for room and board to Robin Blier Saugerties, Rebecca Minew of Catskill and Ron Youngs of Kingston. Robin, Rebecca and her husband Chad, and Jan Cohn also took the DEC Exam and are now legal rehabilitators in the State of New York. We congratulate all of them for their hard work and big hearts.

Volunteer Drivers Needed!

Most of our work with injured and orphaned wildlife happens during the breeding season which is roughly April through August. During this period Ravens can sometimes be overwhelmed with calls and emergencies. We are looking for a few people who would like to volunteer as drivers to pick up animals, take them to the Vet's and such. You would need your own car. This is a great service that a retiree could provide. It's for that once in awhile time when there is just too much going on!

Rebecca Minew of Catskill, NY found HELIOS the Red Tail Hawk on Rte 9W. Here she is handing the hawk over to Ravensbeard, and very happy to have found help for him. Rebecca and her husband Tad were inspired to become licensed wildlife rehablitators with Ravensbeard after taking in Helios. We warmly welcome them into our circle.
