New York’s wildlife rehabilitator licensing exam is coming up in April (offered again in August ). In NYS all wildlife rehabilitators are volunteers who are licensed by the state to care for injured or orphaned wildlife in their home. NY State offers the licensing exam twice a year. This class will help you prepare. You will find out how to register, what you must know going into the exam, and what happens after you pass. This class will help you focus on the essentials and expand your understanding of the regulations and calculations so you can feel confident on test day.
