Wildlife Rescue and Conservation in Action!

A Talk by Doris Duncan, Executive Director
Rescued, Rehabilitated and Returned to the Wild!

Monday 6 PM • November 9th, 2026 

Join Executive Director Doris Duncan for an inside look at Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue. Explore how injured, orphaned, and sick wildlife are rescued, rehabilitated, and returned to the wild, and learn how our organization works alongside the whole community – to protect our local wildlife. Doris will describe her experience of 30 years of hands-on work including wildlife rescues, oil spill response, designing and building wildlife enclosures, and working with other professional and passionate people in the field.
Doris Duncan was introduced to wildlife rehabilitation in 1997 at the urging of her young daughter. They began volunteering at various wildlife centers throughout Northern California. In 2000, Doris was hired as the first employee of Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue and became the organization’s Executive Director.

Inspired by the needs of wildlife and the community, Doris launched several innovative, fee-based programs, including A Wildlife Exclusion Service, Barn Owl Maintenance Service, Predator Education Exclusion Service, Wild Academy CA, and One With the Wild Wellness. These initiatives have become central to her focus on mitigating human-wildlife conflict through practical solutions, education, and
community involvement. She finds mentoring with colleagues, staff, volunteers, and the community the most important and valuable part of the work.
