Established in 2012 by five co-founders, Land of Enchantment Wildlife Foundation (LEWF) was formed to help wildlife rehabbers across greater New Mexico. Through donations and grants, LEWF helps provide services, materials, and supplies to those individuals or organizations who might not have the ability to seek these resources on their own.
​
In 2024, Cottonwood Rehab joined forces with LEWF. Our mission expanded to not only helping serve other rehabilitation programs but also having our own rehabilitation program.
ABOUT US
Our Story
Land of Enchantment Wildlife Foundation started as a non-profit organization who's goal was to provide a support system to wildlife rehabilitators in New Mexico. Wildlife all over New Mexico faces many challenges. Since our formation in 2012, LEWF has helped many licensed individuals and organizations who work hard to return our wonderful animals back into the wild. Each and every donation goes to provide food, caging, veterinary care, or transportation for those animals in need.
In 2024, we gained our own rehabilitation program and expanded our education program to include 2 live raptors.
Our 2 Missions
Our first mission is to help fundraise for wildlife rehabilitation efforts throughout the state of New Mexico, helping lend a hand to those who need it. Through grants and other services, our goal is to help rehabilitatiors focus on their efforts without the worry of how it financially impacts them.
​
Our second mission is to support our own wildlife rehabilitation and education efforts.
