Welcome to The Oak & Furrows Wildlife Rescue Centre's website.
The centre formed 12 years ago in the South Cotswolds, after operating from home for 5 years.
Si
ck,injured and orphaned wildlife are cared for and treated, then released back into the wild.
Serena Stevens, the founder of the centre and a few volunteers have worked tirelessly since 1990, saving tens of thousands of injured and orphaned wildlife.
The centre has now become registered charity (Reg. Charity No. 1115926) and very proud of our new status we are too! With our new found 'fame' we have had to improve the existing facilities, renew equipment and we are almost finished refurbishing and refitting the existing Treatment Room, aviaries and pens, with the help of our friends, family & volunteers.
We have grown considerably since Summer 2007 due to the closure of the Gloucester Wildlife Rescue and as a result are now extremely popular over a wider area of the country.
Update (May 2008): We are now even bigger as many other centres are closing in Gloucestershire!!
VOLUNTEERS
We are always happy to hear from anyone wishing to help out at the centre. If you can spare a few hours a week, please contact us on 01285 869040 and we can have a chat and make some arrangements to suit you.

MARCH 2008 - The hedgehog intake has slowed down, finally, AND the Winter guests are, at last, starting to be rehomed. It's been a long wait for them and the volunteers who have worked tirelessly each day to keep them clean & comfortable. Well done guys. Thanks also to the groups from Cirencester College for shredding up mountains of newspapers for them.
Time for a change now cuz soon it will be baby season!!! So roll up the sleeves and let the Spring/Summer season begin!
MAY 2008 - CALL FROM THE WILD!!!
Since we have taken on more calls from all over Gloucestershire & Wiltshire areas our bills have gone through the roof!
We desperately need help trying to raise more funds so if you can help by arranging events or being part of a fundraising steering committee, please get in touch. We are extremely busy working at the centre 24/7 almost, and don't have much time for extra fundraising, so we would really welcome anyone willing to help with this. Ring us on 01285 869040/862439 or email us at oakandfurrowswrc@msn.com. Thank you.
