Wildlife First Responders Course

Have you ever wished you’d known how to handle a wildlife emergency?  A hawk hit by a car on a roadside?  Ducklings stranded away from their mother?


This course will teach you when to intervene and when not to, and how to capture, handle, stabilize and transport injured birds.  Carol Holmgren and Kristine Steiner,  licensed wildlife rehabilitators for Tamarack Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center, will teach the class.  Tamarack seeks to train additional volunteers in these techniques in order to increase our capacity and to improve the outcomes for the many injured birds in our region.  We also need help with phone coverage, and this course  prepares participants  for assisting with that as well.
