Elise Wolf has been a wildlife and habitat advocate for 30 years. In 2009, she expanded into also caring for individual birds in need. After training with another rehabilitator for two years, she founded Native Bird Care and started on an educational path to  work with birds that were in decline and help fill a critical gap in wildlife rehabilitation. Her training includes hands-on training with some of the top rehabilitators in the country, along with multiple conferences and specialized research and study.

Elise is fascinated with the science behind every species of birds she cares for. To date, she has treated 127 individual species (types) of birds, from hummingbirds up to Trumpeter Swans. She personally writes the Native Bird Care blog and posts on Facebook, applying her extensive knowledge about birds and other important issues. The Source and Nugget Newspapers in Central Oregon publish her writings as well. Community presentations are offered a couple of times a year. Elise will also present an occasional training class on avian rehabilitation.
