Description
My name is Gabriel and I am the president of a wildlife conservation/ rescue organization and co-owner of the 42 acres its housed on.Myself and a "new generation of wildlife professionals" took over the project nearly 3.5 years (this is a 26 year old project) with the goal to rescue, rehabilitate, and save as many wildlife patients as possible. We have a new goal to convert the property (42 acres) into a self sufficient organic farm that not only feeds all of the animals under our care but the students and visitors that frequent our campus daily. Our intention is to blend practical wildlife conservation with organic farming to better serve our conservation goals and give back to the planet. We currently employ 10 paid staff throughout the year.

At the same time, our staff and community are eager to practice English, so bilingual volunteers can contribute by helping improve language skills. This creates a natural two-way exchange where everyone benefits.
