Introduction to Duckling Care presented by Leonie Weaver Beefacres Community Hall

Why does our wildlife need your help?

Our wildlife populations face many dangers as their habitat decreases and they are forced to live closer to us. The biggest dangers are cats, dogs, cars, poisons and loss of native habitat. When concerned members of the public find wildlife that is sick, injured or orphaned, they look to vets and wildlife volunteers to step in and help. In a future of climate change, wildlife carers and rescuers will be more important than ever.

Introduction to Duckling Care Course Outline Presented by Leonie Weaver

Please bring pen and paper to take your own notes. A manual hand-out will hopefully be available on the day.

Objective: The attendee will develop an understanding about the handling and examination, housing of orphaned ducklings. Greater detail on how to feed orphaned ducklings from arrival to fledging and release will be covered.

Course will run from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm with afternoon tea included.

09:45am Registration.
