Building our care capability & sustainability
We strive to ensure that animals that come into our care have access to expert medical assessment & treatment, a caring & nurturing environment, best practice rehabilitation areas, nutritious feed & species specific enrichment activities that ensure development of necessary skills in preparation for release.
Funding wildlife care & rescue is challenging. Thankfully, from time-to-time, funding is offered by non-government organisations and we make application for these grants when possible to help support our efforts. We also very much appreciate & rely on public support via donations.
Our projects are often made possible through the generous support of others, who we thank sincerely.
