Wildlife Rehab & Education, Inc., an organization that was formed "to meet the increasing need for wildlife assistance," will offer two regional presentations during the month of April to interested people from throughout Southeast Texas. "The Texas Gulf Coast is a haven for birds and mammals," said a news release on the presentations. "Due to the increasing number of people in this area, many of these animals are hit by cars, injured by pets, poisoned, shot illegally, kept as 'pets,' displaced by habitat destruction or entangled in fences, traps, fishing lines, etc." The presentations will include several topics: · An overview of wildlife rehabilitation, including how to become a wildlife rehabilitator, what your role is as a wildlife rehabilitator, facility and permitting requirements; · An introduction to the basics of caring for orphaned baby birds and mammals; · The importance of educating the general public on peaceful co-existence with wildlife; · Other ways to get involved and volunteer opportunities. The wildlife rehabilitation overviews will be held on Saturday, April 9 from 10 a.m. until noon at The Houston SPCA, 900 Portway Drive in Houston, and on Wednesday, April 13 from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. at Challenger 7 Park in League City.
