Friday Environment Forum: Saving wildlife, Robyn Leslie, WILVOS

Robyn Leslie from WILVOS will tell us about the busy life of a WILVO volunteer and the struggle our wild animals face when their habitat is destroyed.

For animals, finding a new home is not always easy, especially when competing with vehicles, domestic pets and other creatures resident in the area. Stress impacts the health of displaced animals causing problems such as dermatitis in possums, increasingly seen by wildlife carers.

Now that Spring has arrived, what should you do with that tiny bird that has fallen from its nest at the local park or in your backyard? You don’t need to visit the vet immediately. Robyn Leslie will discuss some strategies anyone can use to assist a tiny fledgling.
