Nora Preston, President/Founder of Wildlife Carers Group Inc., began rehabilitating wildlife in the early 1980's, and was also very active with COG (Canberra Ornithologists Group), being acknowledged in the Canberra Garden Birds Book for her input, including bird banding.

In 1990 she commenced her studies in Animal Science.

In 2004 Nora set her sights to start up another wildlife group in Canberra, to promote the general welfare and continued survival of native fauna and flora as an essential element of the environment, to specifically undertake the specialised care necessary for the rehabilitation of all sick, injured, orphaned native wildlife, to promote public awareness of the need to conserve existing wildlife species, and an understanding of their particular habitat and feeding requirements, and so, the Wildlife Carers Group Inc. was born, with the Rehabilitation Carers License being issued in August 2005 to the Group.
