Director Cindy Kamler, a wildlife rehabilitator since 1986, moved to
the Eastern Sierra in 1995. There was no wildlife rehabilitation activity
in the area and she soon received requests to help needy animals. By
the end of 2004, Cindy and ESWC had helped nearly 1700 wild birds, mammals
and reptiles.
As numbers increased, Kamler applied for and received a permit from
California Department of Fish and Game. Later, she received her Migratory
Bird Permit from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. She
recruited and trained other volunteers. [To learn about volunteering,
click on Volunteer Opportunities above.] The number of wild animals
requiring care grew and Cindy needed help. She formed Eastern Sierra
Wildlife Care, a non-profit corporation in the State of California
with both federal and state tax-exempt status.
Financial support for Eastern Sierra Wildlife Care comes primarily
from our local communities. Individual contributors include people
who rescue animals and bring them to ESWC as well as other residents
who support our rehabilitation efforts. Visitors to the Eastern Sierra
also contribute to our work. Other funds come from community groups,
organizations, and businesses.
Eastern Sierra Wildlife Care has received support from the Fish and
Wildlife Propagation Fund, California Department of Fish and Game,
since 2000. These limited funds help pay for food, medicine, and supplies.
Each year, more animals are rescued and brought to Eastern Sierra
Wildlife Care. We need to buy more food, medicines, and housing—and
that means more money. Please help ESWC by making a donation today.
