Webinar – 4/8/21 – Reuniting & Renesting Orphaned Wildlife – HSUS

Virtual

HSUS Presents: Does your agency or organization get calls about birds and squirrels fallen out of nests, very young raccoons seen without mom, or fawns and baby rabbits alone in fields or backyards? Whether or not you respond to these types of calls or refer them to a wildlife rehabilitator, this webinar will help you determine and achieve the best outcome for these animals. (Spoiler alert: many of these baby animals are probably not actually orphaned!) Learn how to know when intervention is necessary, how to reunite dependent young with their parents whenever possible, and how to best work with wildlife rehabilitators when reuniting is not possible.
