In 2005, PAWS Wildlife Center received a grant from NWRA to begin a study on the effects of environmental enrichment in wildlife rehabilitation. The first phase of the study was a three–year program in which different enrichment techniques were tested on juvenile raccoons and crows. The process of creating the study, training the volunteers, and results of the study are discussed.
