Hope for Wildlife Society

The Hope for Wildlife Society, located in Seaforth, Nova Scotia, was founded in 1997 and, until 2005, was known as The Eastern Shore Wildlife Rehabilitation and Rescue Centre.

Our wildlife rehabilitation and education facility is entirely staffed by community volunteers.

Specializing in the care, treatment and rehabilitation of injured or orphaned native fur bearing mammals, sea birds and songbirds, our facility has treated and released thousands of mammals and birds representing over 200 various species.

In addition to the treatment of indigenous wildlife, we have also treated non-indigenous species that have been confiscated by the authorities or bought as pets and later abandoned.

Our facility is fully licensed and inspected, with a federal license for the rehabilitation of sea birds and a provincial license for the rehabilitation of indigenous wildlife.

Connecting people to wildlife in a positive way - through knowledge and understanding - the Hope for Wildlife Society believes that education through rehabilitation is the key to a sustainable future.

Our mission comprises three important goals:

1. Rehabilitation and release into the wild of injured and orphaned wildlife.

2. Education of our children and the general public regarding the importance of conservation of various wildlife species and the ecosystems that sustain them.

3. Research to develop the knowledge and understanding necessary for conservation and management of wildlife resources in a complex and continually changing biological, social and politcal environment.
