2026 Call of the Wild Conference

The Wildlife Center of Virginia’s annual Call of the Wild conference is a leading continuing education opportunity for wildlife rehabilitators and other wildlife first responders. Co-sponsored by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, this hybrid event brings together more than 400 participants from around the world — including rehabilitators, veterinary professionals, wildlife biologists, environmental educators, and others dedicated to wildlife and conservation.
Designed to support both accessibility and hands-on learning, the conference includes two days of online presentations and an in-person day of workshops and seminars. The in-person session will take place on Saturday, November 21, at the Best Western in Waynesboro, Virginia.
