Program topic

Have you been a conscientious wildlife supporter, perhaps a Sierra Club member, who has used your part of the city to provide habitat, food, and water and attract wildlife? Have you reached the point of maximum carrying capacity, so that local wildlife are trying to move in with you?

It has happened to us all. The perfect solution to your problem is to attend our February 21st program by Leon Ruttley of Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation. This organization has a great list of solutions that are easy to implement, affordable, and kind to your new neighbors whether you live outside the city or in downtown San Antonio.

WRR, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of native wildlife, and to providing sanctuary, individualized care, and a voice for other animals in need. Its goal is for humans to understand that we are members of a vast life community, that we experience the proper gratitude and respect for this community, and that we live in a more appropriate and compassionate manner in relation to the whole. Founded in San Antonio in 1977, WRR has been based on 212 acres near Kendalia since 2001, with an office on Babcock in the Jefferson neighborhood.

About our speaker

Leon Ruttley has been with WRR for six years. He is currently the Volunteer and Education Manager, after serving initially as Apprentice Supervisor and Animal Care Training Coordinator.

Leon graduated from the University of South Alabama in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in biology, and discovered wildlife rehabilitation though a small wildlife and education center located in Mobile, Alabama. He has ten years of experience working in wildlife rehabilitation, and is excited for the opportunity to share his experiences with us, as well as his passion for biology and wildlife and all things outdoors..

The Alamo Group of the Sierra Club holds its general meetings the 3rd Tuesday of most months. They’re always free and open to the public. View videos of our past meetings on our YouTube channel or our Facebook page.
