Be Wildlife-friendly

Not only can everyone be wildlife-friendly, but they should be, so that we are not putting our wildlife and environment at risk, are showing our appreciation for our native fauna and taking some responsibility for the wonderful part of the world we live in.

So, we encourage you to become a member of your local wildlife rehabilitation group, and consider how you can contribute in other ways, whether by putting up nestboxes, being aware of and stopping for injured wildlife on the road, getting rid of barbed wire fencing and inappropriate fruit netting, or being aware of the effect of rat baits on our wildlife. There are some really practical things you can do, requiring very little effort, as you will see from wonderful articles and factsheets below.
