The people behind the mission
A small, deeply experienced staff connects clinic care, wildlife education, rescue coordination, and the daily work of running an independent nonprofit.
Care is a team practice
REGI's work calls for clinical judgment, patience, clear teaching, practical problem-solving, and a willingness to meet each day exactly as it arrives.
Staff work alongside interns, volunteers, veterinarians, board members, rescuers, and supporters to give native birds the best possible path forward.
