'Getting Prepared' Wild Event
SPECIAL FUNDRAISING EVENTS, TO HELP US TO KEEP TRANSPORTING WILDLIFE TO EMERGENCY CARE THIS SUMMER.
Getting Prepared: Offering Emergency Assistance To A UK Wildlife Casualty/Orphan...
Why am I holding this event & how do I know what I'm talking about?
Running UK Wildlife Transporters for 5 years now, we have received the same types of calls, from people who have found wildlife casualties/orphans, many 1000s of times. In most cases, the callers have been trying for hours (sometimes for days) to get the basic information that this event is offering (where to find help and what to do for the animal in the meantime). In a lot of cases, the wrong food had already been given to the casualty, while the caller tried to find help (sometimes any food/water at all is wrong) and the casualties had been kept in inappropriate conditions that had lessened their chances of survival. All of this is preventable as long as you are prepared when you find a wildlife casualty.
In a lot of cases, due to the time it took to find help and the wrong care being given (with the best of intentions) the casualties/orphans didn't survive, when they might have done if the caller had been prepared and had found the right help a lot faster.
The aim of this event is to make sure that you're prepared to help a wildlife casualty/orphan (when one almost inevitably appears at some point in your life) so that it is a speedy and rewarding experience, for yourself and hopefully the animal too.

"I recently attended the getting prepared to help wildlife event and would thoroughly recommend to anyone considering it. Good information for members of the public and wildlife transporters alike. Enjoyed the real life case studies and had plenty of opportunity to ask questions in a supportive environment - thank you Alana."

"I really liked the 'Getting Prepared To Help Wildlife' event. As I'm an admin on 4 bird/wildlife groups, I already know the basics of what needs to be done but it's always good to be able to learn new things that you may not have thought about and like Alana said we need to be there for the animal and not just think about ourselves.
It was good that Alana gave us the opportunity to chat to and ask her questions.
What I really love are the illustrations because I'm a visual learner and sometimes a photo can work better for me than reading text. I think it would draw young people too as they love anything visual with bright colours like myself.
I also find the WILDLIFE CARE BADGE map really useful too as I can share that with finders so they can check if there is a wildlife rescue in their area.
Please think about booking onto the next event to make everyone aware of what can and needs to be done."

“Thank you so much for your informative talk. It was extremely enjoyable and very detailed.
You can see how much care, time and dedication has gone into the work Alana does to create awareness in how to correctly care for our wildlife in emergency situations to get them the best possible help.
It’s a well needed approach forwards to helping and saving our important wildlife as numbers continue to drop. I feel it is also a great tool to use to teach children from a young age the appropriate way in which we should handle and care for sick and orphaned wild animals correctly.
Thank you for the further time you spent personally answering any questions I had. Alana really did go far out and beyond. I very much recommend anyone whom is not sure to try it out. You won’t be disappointed! I really look forward to any further talks you may have in the future. Lu x”

“I attended a ‘Getting Prepared to Help Wildlife’ event on 24th September with Alana. She hosted a workshop to walk through her fabulous ‘Establishing a ‘Wildlife First Aid Officer’ in your Home/Workplace’ booklet. After purchasing the booklet and reading it, I knew I wanted to attend an in person event to dive deeper into the content. Even though I personally find dealing with any injured wild animal very traumatic, I felt that if I had comprehensive knowledge about what to do it would set me up to be able to support other people in the event that they find injured wildlife, especially people on social media. Sometimes timing is everything and a comment on a social media post could save an animal’s life.
The workshop was extremely informative and absolutely built on the content of the booklet in so many places. Alana provided real life experiences, of which she has many, to add context to the examples and to demonstrate what ‘could’ happen in various situations. She was also very helpful in providing me with an insight into the wildlife rescues in my area, and which ones are best for advice. I very much valued this. Alana’s delivery was spot on, she was extremely passionate about the cause and that certainly came across.
She gave the audience plenty of opportunity to ask questions during and after the presentation to ensure that we didn’t go away with any confusion. There was nothing she couldn’t answer. She is a kind person who is very dedicated to wildlife and this session is a must for anyone, because any of us can come across injured wildlife and just having some fundamental knowledge, for example, keeping a couple of helpful wildlife rescue phone numbers in your phone, could ultimately save an animal’s life.”

“I found the 'Getting Prepared' zoom so helpful. I learned so much I didn't know and now I feel confident I'd know what to do if I ever come across sick or injured wildlife. Honestly, I'd recommend this zoom to everyone as you never know when you might come across a little life in need and knowing what to do (or even what not to do) could be crucial for them."
