Why We Do What We Do
At the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center, we dedicate our efforts to rescuing, rehabilitating, and ultimately releasing injured and orphaned wildlife on the East End of Long Island. With a committed team of just 13 staff members and over 140 volunteers, nearly 3,000 animals are brought to our center each year. Every individual in our community shares a profound passion for the wildlife and environment unique to the East End. During this season of giving, we are excited to share the stories of our community members and their journeys into wildlife rescue. Discover what inspires them to donate their time and resources to our cause, and learn why it’s crucial for us to protect these magnificent creatures every day. We invite you to enjoy these stories by watching the videos, following our updates on Facebook and Instagram, or visiting the Center in person. If possible, please consider making a donation to support our continuous efforts to assist the animals and educate the public about our cherished wild companions.
