If you have a love for wildlife and a desire to assist them go along this Sunday 28 April to a volunteer induction workshop being held by Wildlife Volunteers Association Inc (WILVOS) from 10am to 2pm at Yandina.
WILVOS is one of Queensland’s longest
running wildlife rescue organisations, having begun in 1986 following an increase of development on the Sunshine Coast that created a surge of injured, sick and orphaned animals. With more volunteers desperately needed to keep up with the influx of
injured animals, by 1995 WILVOS became an incorporated association working very
closely with Queensland National Parks.
WILVOs volunteers provide rescue, rehabilitation and release services to
injured, orphaned and distressed native animals and work closely with other
wildlife services and organisations including the Australian Wildlife Hospital, local
vets, local businesses, the Sunshine Coast University, local councils and the police.
The organisation receives thousands of calls and rescue requests a year. It has about 290 volunteers that participate in a range of services from running the 24 hours hotline to caring for injured and orphaned wildlife.
