The Ohio Wildlife Rehabilitators Association (OWRA) will offer an Introduction to Wildlife Rehabilitation class in room 104 of the Natural Resources building Saturday, March 10, 2012 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
This course, or equivalent, is required for those interested in obtaining their own Category I Ohio Division of Wildlife Rehabilitation Permit. The training covers state regulations, handling wildlife calls, neonatal care of orphaned wildlife, zoonotic diseases, stabilization, and transportation of Category I species (tree squirrels, ground squirrels, and Eastern Cottontail Rabbits).
The registration fee is $35 for OWRA members and $50 for non-members and includes a manual, handouts, certificate of completion, and lunch. Further details and registration are available online.
OWRA is a non-profit organization with members from a wide range of backgrounds. OWRA provides training, networking and referral information to wildlife rehabilitators so they can better assist the public when injured, orphaned, or diseased wildlife are encountered. OWRA also works to improve the quality of care given to Ohio's native wildlife and inform the public about issues impacting wildlife.
