Have you ever come a native animal that seemed to have gotten into trouble and wondered how to help? If so, you’ve come to the right place! Australians are lucky in that they get to interact with native animals more so that other Western countries. Of course, this also comes with issues, especially in urban environments. The good news is, you don’t necessarily have to be an experienced rescuer or take a complicated course to start helping the creatures around you. Bring along your desire to help and your questions!

What will we cover?

In this course, you’ll learn:

To assess whether an animal actually needs help
How to do a makeshift nest or a ramp with everyday items to assist wildlife
Pouch checking for marsupials,
The best ways to minimise your impacts on native wildlife.
