WIRES is holding an accredited Rescue and Immediate Care Course (RICC) on Saturday, March 9 in Cowra where residents can learn the basics of native animal care from qualified wildlife trainers.
WIRES Weddin-Lachlan member Leah Colefax said their branch extends from Cootamundra to Parkes and from Cowra to Wyalong, a massive area that is currently being serviced by less than 25 active volunteers.
“We desperately need members in the localities of Boorowa and Harden as we have no members nearby,” said Ms Colefax. “We also need more volunteers for our major townships of Young, Grenfell, Forbes and Cowra.”
