Interested in joining our efforts in providing nests to wildlife rescues around the globe? The rescue centres and rehabilitators that we serve expect a high level of quality, and we take great pride in the fact that they trust our nests to safely provide warmth, comfort and security to the wildlife in their care, and we hope you do too! Please do not risk wildlife getting injured in poorly constructed nests. The nests they are referring to are ones that were constructed using the alternative patterns found online, ALL of those patterns are riddled with safety issues.whether it be the stitches used, hook/needle size recommended or the manner in which the nests are begun. Over the years we have spoken to many wildlife rehabilitators who no longer use nests, as they had received poorly made nests in the past that had injured the wildlife in their care. There are many versions of these nests floating around on the internet however, our patterns were developed and tested with the help of professional wildlife rehabilitators to prevent injuries to their animals and to ensure their utmost safety.

The WRN Facebook page was started in the winter of 2013 in the hopes of building a network of people to help supply nests to wildlife rescue centres in Ontario, Canada and it certainly has taken flight! Started as a small project constructing nests for a handful of wildlife rehabilitators here in Ontario, it has grown tremendously into hundreds of generous volunteers helping to provide nests to locations all over the world! Since the introduction of the WRN Nest Registration Form in 2015, our fabulous volunteers have provided over 40,000 nests to more than 500 wildlife rescues in Canada, the U.S., Ireland, the U.K., Norway, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, India, Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Costa Rica. Wildlife Rescue Nests is a NON-PROFIT project, all nests are made by WRN volunteers and donated to wildlife rehabilitators around the world.
