Rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing wildlife since 1991
Our mission is to support and advocate for wildlife through rehabilitation, education, collaboration and community engagement, in order to promote sustainable and healthy ecosystems in Napa County for present and future generations.
You did it!
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we have officially reached our fundraising goal!
Your donations during our “buy an owl lunch” campaign are helping to provide the care, food, shelter, and support needed for theses seven great horned owls currently recovering at Napa Wildlife Rescue and we just want to say, “thank you”!
We are beyond grateful to everyone who donated, shared our campaign, and helped give these remarkable owls the time and care they need to grow stronger. Because of your support, these magnificent seven are one step closer to returning to their rightful place in the wild.
The Journey Isn't Over Yet!
In the coming days, we will hold a drawing to select supporters who will have the opportunity to join us for this very special owl release once they are strong enough and ready to return to the wild.
Be sure to check back for progress updates as these seven continue their journey.
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza is in Napa County
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) was detected in California in July 2022. This virus is highly contagious and fatal to birds, affecting over 58 million birds in the US. As wildlife advocates, we can educate ourselves and others about best practices in biosecurity to slow the spread of HPAI.
Follow the link to learn more about HPAI, who it affects, and Napa Wildlife Rescue’s response.
Attention rural & agricultural landowners:
American Kestrels need your help!
For reasons not completely understood, kestrel populations have been steadily declining in many areas of North America. In an effort to better understand this unfortunate trend, the University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) has announced the Napa-Solano Kestrel Nest Box Initiative.
Rural & agricultural landowners & property managers can help by installing kestrel boxes, or adding your existing kestrel box to a network of boxes to be monitored long term.

“(...) Thank you for the support you provided when we found an injured barn owl in our yard. The owl had been attacked by another bird and was injured.
NWR was so quick in responding to our call and helping the owl. My family was so excited to get an update on the owl and know it was being treated for its injury.
(...) We wanted to send a personal thank you to the NWR for all that you are doing for our community. Thank you!”
