Great reasons to support us today
1
We provide multi-disciplinary medical and scientific expertise to our remote, water-access community. A member of the Wildlife Rehabilitator’s Network of BC, PROWLS works hand-in-hand with researchers, veterinarians, scientists and conservation services to provide specialized local care of many diverse species. We need your help to continue providing this very specialized service to our community.

We keep our injured and orphaned wildlife in Powell River. PROWLS has the skills and the people to keep many more animals here, where they can be released locally to support the overall health and diversity of our local animal populations. We need your help to expand the capacity of our facility.

We provide volunteer opportunities and employment for young people interested in gaining experience in the innovative fields of wildlife biology and coastal ecology. With your support, we will be able to foster many more opportunities in partnership with the Federal Youth Employment Grant.
