ROSEBURG, Ore. - Forever Wild Wildlife Rescue, a nonprofit wildlife rehabilitation organization serving the Umpqua Watershed, has announced it will permanently close and discontinue services effective immediately, according to a statement released by its board of directors.
In a notice signed by board president Bob Bass, the organization said that “in light of recent and unfortunate circumstances it does not appear a prosperous path forward for Forever Wild exists.” The board voted to cease operations, including ending social media activity, shutting down its hotline and discontinuing its group contract with its veterinary provider.
Forever Wild began in 2022 as a volunteer-driven effort focused on rescuing, rehabilitating and returning injured or orphaned wildlife to the wild. The organization said it was unable to grow sufficiently to sustain services into the near future.
The board expressed gratitude to the group’s volunteers for their time and dedication.
Forever Wild Wildlife Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has worked to rehabilitate wildlife in the Umpqua region while also providing education and training related to wildlife care and conservation. More information about the organization is available at https://www.fwwr.org/.
