CCWR Action Alert: News Briefs - Section 679 Regs, Minimum Standards Revisions and Website Updates 

Dear Members,

We have a number of newsworthy items to share with you, and thought we'd put them together in one action alert, instead of filling up your in-boxes.

First, we have posted the changes to the latest revision of the Notice of Proposed Changes to the Section 679 regulations. You can find the document on the CDFG page of our website: http://www.ccwr.org/resources/cdfg/.

We also wanted to let you know that IWRC and NWRA are starting the process of revising the Minimum Standards for Wildlife Rehabilitation. They are accepting comments regarding changes or additions you feel should be addressed via a web-based form at: http://iwrc-online.org/news/standards.html from May 1 through October 15, 2006. All suggestions will be seriously considered.

Last but not least, we wanted to announce two new helpful resources we've added to our website during the past few weeks. We are now offering an Orphan Match area and a Volunteers section. If you have an orphan singlet that needs company or have a surrogate to help raise orphans, please post your listing on our brand new Orphan Match page. We have also added a new Volunteer Opportunities section for those seeking volunteers (as we all always are!) and for people seeking wildlife rehabilitation volunteer positions. You can find both of these new tools in the Resources section of our website: www.ccwr.org/resources/.

All the best,

The CCWR Board
