Galveston Oiled Wildlife Response Workshop

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, and actual hands on cleaning of oiled feathers in which participants will practice by washing an unoiled white duck. RSVP via e-mail with your information to WildlifeResponse@WildlifeCenterofTexas.org. There is no cost for the workshop, but spaces fill up quickly and seating is limited, so please register as soon as possible.
