Knoxwood is an independent wildlife rescue, rehabilitation & re-release facility in Cumbria, England. We specialise in the care of injured wildlife across a vast range of species and over our 40-year existence have successfully treated and released thousands of creatures from the common to the endangered. We have a 5-acre site, complete with purpose built wildlife hospital, rehabilitation enclosures, soft release facilities, ponds and have the full use and development of our beautiful 6 acre water meadow reserve for release and habitat creation. We take in wildlife from all over the UK, but our usual operational area is the whole of the north of England, from coast to coast, as far south as Rochdale and up into Southern Scotland.

How we work...
People turn up at our gate with injured wildlife. We do the rest. We work closely with Belle Vue Vets in Wigton who provide veterinary care for all our creatures.
All people need to do is organise to transport injured wildlife to us and our dedicated team will assess, treat, transfer to the vet where needed, feed, care for and look after the creature in question.
We do not charge for our services, people may leave a donation if they wish!
How we are funded...
Knoxwood is completely independent, we raise our own funds through selling donated goods, recycling schemes, sponsored events, donations from our supporters etc. Our Charity Shops are our absolute lifeblood and we could not operate without them.
Every year we are taking in increasing numbers of birds and animals as other centres across the country are closing. We are picking up this shortfall on the same funds and less staff hours.
We rely on our kind hearted supporters, fundraisers, volunteers and staff that volunteer more hours than they are paid minimum wage for.
