Spring2Action Online Fundraiser
Spring2Action S2A’s on-line giving event is the perfect way to support the work of wildlife rehabilitators without having to leave your home.
As a virtual organization, Wildlife Rescue League is able to continue to provide support to the public and to area wildllife rehabilitators through its helpline and its transporters. The Helpline offers advice and referrals to rehabilitators when needed. Transporters drive wildlife from partner veterinarian offices to rehabilitators as well as distributing supplies to those rehabilitators. Rehabilitators continue to care for squirrels, bunnies, opossums, foxes and other animals.
WRL helps area wildlife rehabilitators in their efforts to rehabilitate and release injured, orphaned, sick and abandoned wildlife found by the public. Rehabilitators are licensed by the state, but are not paid for their services. That’s where WRL comes in. We help provide food, formula, syringes, incubators, heating pads and other items needed by rehabilitators to care for their charges. The ultimate goal of WRL and rehabilitators is the release of these animals back into the wild.
Be sure to tell your friends and family members about the important work we do and ask them to join us in helping to make a difference.
ONE DAY CAN MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE!

Event Details
Imagine a 10 square mile area of protected land right here in the Mount Vernon District – a place where bald eagles soar and tundra swans winter, having left the icy Arctic. A place that is home to plant life and wildlife, large and small.
Just over 50 years ago, Elizabeth Hartwell led a successful grassroots effort to preserve this environment on Mason Neck. She succeeded by showing Congress how crucial it is to protect America’s natural resources.
Her legacy lives on – especially through the annual Eagle Festival at Mason Neck State Park. The Festival combines fun, inspiration and encouragement. We offer a wide variety of free activities, demonstrations, and educational programs, in the hope that our guests will gain a renewed appreciation of, and concern for the environment.
Where else can a child see a live hawk or owl just a few feet away and learn about its habitat? Where can old and young alike view active bald eagle nests and learn about the importance of protecting our rivers – their primary food source? Our activities also serve as ‘teaching moments’ of actions families can take towards conservancy.
Throughout the day, there will be non-stop shows in the Wildlife Tent with reptiles, hawks, owls, and hopefully, an eagle! Kids can try a pony ride and the whole family can hop aboard a hayride to a special part of the park to see an eagle nest. And don’t forget your camera. There will be a photo contest for kids with great prizes including the opportunity to attend the park’s Junior Ranger program for free.
Best of all, you’ll be surrounded by nature in a beautiful park that’s home to eagles, ospreys, and great blue herons. Don’t forget to look up once in a while.
