(KAIR)--A wildlife rehabilitation facility, serving northeast Kansas communities by providing rescue and rehabilitation of native Kansas wildlife, is now a licensed facility.
That word comes in a release from Sherri McNary, Director of ARC Wild, who calls the licensing “a big step forward in our mission,” adding that “the wildlife rehabilitation side is an expansion of services” with ARC Wild to also continue to provide education related to their mission.
The release explains that McNary, in the spring of this year, was asked by Dennis Dinwidee, Director of Northeast Kansas Wildlife Rescue and Director of Education at the Topeka Zoo and Conservation, “to expand ARC Wild to include management of wildlife rehabilitators in the northeastern counties of Kansas.”
Now, ARC Wild has a volunteer staff of seven licensed rehabilitators to serve the local counties of Atchison, Brown, Jackson, Doniphan, Nemaha, and Marshall. Those members include McNary, Wendell Ganstrom, Connie King, Daniela Rippe, Dr. Jessica Stallbaumer, Clint Tegtmeier, and Trina Earl.
According to the ARC Wild website, the all volunteer service was established in 2017, and does not receive any local, state, or federal funding, with financial support received only through contributions from individuals and businesses.
