Come join us at Napa Farmers Market!

We have a booth and talk with people about the important work we do at Napa Wildlife Rescue. We explain that we are the only entity in Napa County licensed to Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Release with the goal of returning wildlife to their natural habitats. We answer questions, provide literature, and, of course, encourage people to volunteer with us. It’s a lot of fun! We meet new people, connect with our community, and even get in some farmers market time.

 We ask/require one Tuesday OR one Saturday a month, April through October. Each shift is from 7:00 am to 1:00 pm (actual market is 8 - 12).

There are always two people; we all work together, and you choose what’s best for you. When you are ready to join us, just fill out the online form and be sure to specify “farmers market”!

We’re looking forward to volunteering with you!
