Description
Why am I holding this event & how do I know what I'm talking about?
Running UK Wildlife Transporters for 4years now, we have received the same types of calls, from people who have found wildlife casualties/orphans, many 1000s of times. In most cases, the callers have been trying for hours - sometimes for days - to get the basic information that this event is offering (where to find help and what to do for the animal in the meantime). In a lot of cases, the wrong food had already been given to the casualty, while the caller tried to find help - sometimes any food/water at all is wrong - and the casualties had been kept in inappropriate conditions that had lessened their chances of survival. All of this is preventable as long as you are prepared when you find a wildlife casualty.
In a lot of cases, due to the time it took to find help and the wrong care being given (with the best of intentions) the casualties/orphans didn't survive, when they might have done if the caller had been prepared and had found the right help a lot faster.
The aim of this event is to make sure that you're prepared to help a wildlife casualty/orphan, when one almost inevitably appears at some point in your life, so that it is a speedy and rewarding experience, for yourself and hopefully the animal too.
To make this event affordable to all, you can set your own ticket price (as a donation). 50% of ticket sales from this event will go to UK Wildlife Transporters and 50% will go to Celandine Wood Animal Rescue.
