Certified Wildlife Rehabilitator

The Certified Wildlife Rehabilitator™ (CWR) designation recognizes wildlife rehabilitators who have demonstrated advanced knowledge, skills, and experience, establishing them as experts in the field. If you are interested in certification but do not yet meet the experience requirements for CWR, we encourage you to pursue the Associate Wildlife Rehabilitator™ (AWR) certification as a valuable alternative at this stage.
