Construction of Wildlife Rescue of Central Texas’ first facility is steadily progressing.
The details
The facility is located on 2 acres of land, which was donated through the Lost Pines Animal Alliance, according to Wildlife Rescue of Central Texas officials.
“The property will house a building for wildlife care, and outdoor enclosures to accommodate wild animals preparing for release back into the wild,” officials said in a statement posted to the Wildlife Rescue of Central Texas website.
What we know
Hayley Hudnall, Wild Rescue of Central Texas board president, has worked in the wildlife rehabilitation field for 15 years and said she is eager to open the facility in the ever-growing Central Texas region.
“We’re a network of rehabbers working out of our houses right now, so we have a limited amount of animals that we can take in,” she previously told Community Impact. “We're already taking in animals from six or seven other surrounding counties, so the need here is big and we're happy that we can help with it.”
The outlook
Wildlife Rescue of Central Texas, established in 2024, installed its rehabilitation building, a prefabricated shell, in November, and is now actively completing work on the parking lot, a detention pond, fencing the property and constructing prerelease outdoor enclosures.
The nonprofit organization listed several ways that area residents can lend a helping hand:
