The Wildlife Center of Texas, sponsored by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, will
be providing an oiled wildlife response-training workshop on Friday, March 9,
2012 from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

The workshop will be held at The Wildlife Center of Texas in Houston, Texas.
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation will generously provide lunch. Clean Gulf
Associates will provide the wildlife response trailers for the hands-on
training. The purpose of the workshop is to certify and train personnel that
are interested in assisting the Wildlife Center of Texas Oiled Wildlife
Response Team during a spill. Certification and training are required for
anyone who may participate in any role during an oiled wildlife response.

The workshop will cover topics such as the effects of oil on wildlife, initial
intake and exam of oiled wildlife, an introduction to OSHA training, wildlife
rehabilitation’s role in Incident Command System, actual hands on cleaning of
oiled feathers and participants will practice by washing an unoiled white duck.

We would like for all permitted wildlife rehabilitators and trainees, U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, state wildlife officials, industry environmental
personnel, as well as local veterinarians and veterinarian technicians to
participate in this training.

There is no cost for the workshop but space is limited.
