Northwest Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.

Tucked near the woods on the Nooksack River in the small Western Washington town of Deming, the Northwest Wildlife Rehabilitation Center receives and treats hundreds of native wild animals every year.  Run entirely by donation, the center operates under lead rehabilitator and lone staffer Stacy Wise.  With a team of seasonal interns and volunteers year round, Wise and the people who dedicate their time and effort to the center help save the lives of native wildlife that have been injured, abandoned, are sick, or disoriented.  These images are the culmination of several months spent in and around the center. Some are releases for success stories of animal patients brought in, even some of whom were raised by Wise and the volunteers and interns, to be released as thriving adults. And some are the depiction of the sad reality of our own human influence on wildlife.

Project Preview: Northwest Wildlife Rehabilitation Center

Based in Deming, Wash. The Northwest Wildlife Rehabilitation Center is a single employee non-profit that cares for sick, injured and orphaned wildlife in Whatcom county.  I have been shooting a body of work covering the center since February and hopefully will finish in August. I plan on adding it to my projects portfolio.  It's been really fascinating and amazing to see our local wildlife so close and initimately cared for, and awesome to meet the great people so passionate about their care and preservation.

just wanted to send along a really small preview,
