My first trip to The Wild Animal Rehabilitation Center of Eastern NC was exciting and educational. The second trip was even better because I remembered the camera!
A special thanks to Ellen Westermann, Founder and Director of the Wild Arc for her warm welcome and interesting tour! Ellen retired as a Master Sergeant from the US Marine Corps in 1995. Since then, she founded this wonderful non-profit organization which is vital to the survival of injured and abandoned WILD animals in Eastern NC. Ellen and a special group of volunteers dedicate their time to these helpless animals. With the support of local veterinary clinic, WILD Arc rehabilitates these wild animals and introduces them back into their natural environment.
Take a look at some of their current residents (baby Eastern Screech Owl, Great Horned Owl, Red Tailed Hawk, and baby Possum):
Please call WildArc to volunteer, donate materials and/or funds, or to schedule a tour at 252-638-4646. They are located at 1312 Old Cherry Point Rd (across from Williams Farm in James City).

First of all, who is the photographer?! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteSecondly, New Bern is obviously a community of conscience and caring, to be the home of this wonderful facility. You folks must be pretty proud the precious services that place offers!

Thank you for your compliments, Colonel Culver. WildARC is a wonderful facility and we are lucky to have them in New Bern. Ellen and her volunteers definately make a large impact on the lives of rescued wildlife! - Wendy Card
