ABOUT: WILDLIFE RESCUE OF EAST HAMPTON, Inc.
Wildlife Rescue of East Hampton is Dell Cullum, a wildlife rescue expert with a vast knowledge of all species, who has been working in the wildlife field for over 30 years in 6 states. In 2013, Cullum started Hampton Wildlife Removal, at the time the ONLY 100% NO KILL trapping outfit on the entire island, possibly even the state. Even when the NYSDEC demanded trapped raccoons be destroyed on the property they were trapped on, Cullum refused EVERY TIME and was NEVER cited or even warned of his noncompliance; however, he did win the hearts and business of those who had nuisance wildlife issues, but love animals. MANY celebrities in the Hamptons have hired Dell for his unique, compassionate and expert investigative approach to each wildlife case; Alec Baldwin, Jimmy Fallon, Paul McCartney, Eli Wallach, Paul Simon, the list goes on and on.
Dell Cullum, thought it would be beneficial to the wildlife, as well as the community, to organize a rescue operation specifically in East Hampton, Amagansett & Springs. The closest rescue operation was Hampton Bays at the time and that was much too far away to respond consistently to the growing number of calls that were coming in each year. After one reported injured deer was not attended too for 4 days, I responded myself and rescued the near dead animal. I then decided to form WROEH so that animals would not be left unattended in the community I lived and worked in.
When the same folks respond to emergency calls day after day it can become both mentally and physically exhausting. This can easily render a rescue responder unfocused, which can result in injury to either the animal or the responder, or both during a rescue. WROEH has a small team of dedicated rescue responders that share the rescue / call load to lessen the negative energy of an overworked or exhausted responder.
WROEH will also keep their eyes out for issues around the community that impacts the wildlife, or their habitat in a bad way. They will engage in preventative measures to keep the wildlife safe and less vulnerable to man-made dangers, and natural issues that could prove fatal if left alone or ignored. This could range from cleaning trash from all the local osprey nests after they migrate south, to visiting schools and events to speak and educate folks, young and old, about our beautiful wildlife.
Wildlife Rescue of East Hampton also offers EVERYONE a fantastic call center, where the general public can interact in a variety of ways by listening to our phone menu of services at 844-728-9453 or 844-SAV-WILD. Whether it's identifying a critter, asking a wildlife question, inquiring about advice on a nuisance wildlife issue or even a recommendation to the top person in a particular wildlife related field. Our Wildlife Call Center has it all, and SO MUCH MORE!!! Give us a call, toll free at
