Ireland has a rich natural heritage — from the sandbanks of the Shannon Estuary to the fens of Monaghan… from the natterjack toad to the Atlantic salmon… from the Killarney fern to the freshwater pearl mussel.

Irish Wildlife Rehabilitation Conference

The Irish Wildlife Rehabilitation Trust is pleased to announce details of its second Irish Wildlife Rehabilitation Conference, to be held on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th of September at the Best Western Boyne Valley Hotel & Country

Early Bird Special!

This is an opportunity for anyone with an interest in wildlife welfare and/or conservation to learn more about treating wildlife casualties; the ethical and moral issues surrounding their treatment and rehabilitation; wildlife conservation; post release monitoring; and the serious issue of wildlife crime.

Saturday will be an open attendance day and we will again be welcoming a mixture of conservationists, rehabilitators, students, SPCA’s, NPWS personnel, Gardaí and interested members of the public.

Sunday is for vets and veterinary nurses and is a continuing professional development event that is registered for 5.5 CVE credits.

This year we will be running two streams providing both basic and advanced training (the latter of particular interest to those who worked on the basics at the 2010 conference). We will have advanced avian sessions and an additional marine mammal presentation and practical session.

This year we’ve even more stalls, a selection of superb raffle prizes, and lively evening entertainment.
