Teton Wildlife Rehabilitation Center (TWRC) was established as a non-profit by Lindsay Jones and Renee Seidler in August, 2015. Our mission is to increase the chances of wildlife survival through rehabilitation and public education, and we will only be taking wildlife injured by human causes. We recognize the great need for wildlife rehabilitation in this area; the closest facility that rehabilitates and releases mammals, songbirds and waterfowl is nearly 450 miles from Jackson, Wyoming. We've had over 90 calls about injured wildlife totaling over 150 animals since March 2016. Sadly, we've had to turn most of them away because we do not have a building. We will be operating in Teton Valley, ID but taking animals from all over our Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and beyond. We offer four programs: Education, Partnerships, Interships and Captive Breeding/Restoration.
In 2017 we procured land on which to build in Driggs, Idaho. We have since wrapped up our first phase of building which includes our waterfowl and beaver ponds, primary power, a well, fences and a road easement. Now all we need is our building! We cannot intake wildlife until our facility is complete. We hope to complete our facility and be up and running by Summer 2019. Please help us reach our goal so that we can start intaking and releasing the wildlife who really need us. To learn more about us, as well as ways to support us, please visit our website at

Check out our "Just Leave It" Campaign sticker! We like to educate people on how to co-exist with wildlife and to teach people how to reduce human-wildlife conflicts. The concept of "just leave it" is in an effort to keep people from moving, touching or interacting with wildlife. A lot of times they are babies and their mothers have gone out in search of food, and by interacting with them we sometimes do more harm than good. Please visit our website for more information!
