Assisting Wildlife in Need:Local Wildlife Rehabilitators
WILDLIFE REHABILITATORS ~ BERKSHIRE COUNTY
FROM PITTSFIELD TO CUMMINGTON TO ASHLEY FALLS
If you find a sick or injured wild animal or bird immediately contact a wildlife rehabilitator from the list below so they can walk you through what to do in the animals/birds immediate situation.
Most wildlife rehabilitators are employed in addition to directly caring for many animals, therefore you may not receive a call back until several hours after you have left a message. Do call other rehabilitators on the list. Kevin Charlton (under Birds and Mammals) can act as a liaison to other rehabbers – text (413) 575-4602. Listed below in italics are the 3 rehabbers that are generally available to direct your next step.Berkshire county wildlife rehabilitator contact info is sourced from
