About WILDLIFE RESCUE COALITION OF NORTHEAST FLORIDA INC

Wildlife Rescue Coalition of Northeast Florida (WRCNEF) is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit that rescues, rehabilitates, and releases injured, orphaned, and displaced native Florida wildlife across Northeast Florida. The organization operates a rehabilitation center on private property in St. Augustine and maintains a network of fosters, transport volunteers, and veterinary partners to deliver care and return animals to the wild. Founded as a grassroots rescue in 1997 and incorporated in the early 2000s, WRCNEF handles a large caseload each year (the organization reports roughly 3,000 animals taken into care in a recent year). The group focuses on emergency response, long-term rehabilitation where needed, and public education to reduce human-wildlife conflicts and improve outcomes for native species.

Notable achievements

Thousands of animals rehabilitated

In recent reporting years the organization has cared for approximately 3,000 animals annually across species including raccoons, squirrels, opossums, gopher tortoises, armadillos, bats, and deer, demonstrating sustained rescue and release capacity.

Volunteer-powered emergency response
