Native Wildlife Care Training

Flinders Island is home to remarkable native wildlife, but when an animal is injured, orphaned or in distress, help isn't always close by.

Flinders Island is fortunate to have a small number of dedicated wildlife carers, but given the size of our island and the nature of wildlife emergencies, community members are often the first to come across injured, orphaned or distressed animals. Knowing how to respond can make a real difference.

Thanks to support from Animals Tasmania, the Furneaux Collective is delivering a Wildlife Carer Education & Recruitment Campaign designed specifically for Flinders Island.

The program includes 6-8 hours of theory and then a face to face workshop with the team from Wildlife Network Tasmania on Sunday 16th August at the Flinders Arts & Entertainment Centre.

Whether you're interested in becoming a wildlife carer, want to feel more confident responding to wildlife emergencies, or simply care about the wellbeing of our native animals, we'd love to hear from you.
