Get to know Wildlife!
We believe that by ensuring everyone has access to, and education in the natural world we can improve mental and physical wellbeing and safeguard the future environment. By learning about the natural world, people are far more likely to take better care of it.
We need to take the opportunity to ensure that the next generation (and current generations) nurture a connection to wildlife and encourage current generations to lessen their impact on our natural world. Hence, it remains a place of beauty for all to live in and enjoy.
As part of our commitment to educating and informing the public about the importance of our natural heritage, Wildlife Rehabilitation Ireland actively takes its message into the community by giving talks and presentations to schools, companies, groups and clubs.
Our wildlife experience enables us to speak authoritatively on all areas of wildlife care and rehabilitation. As well as being informative and educational, our speakers draw on their own personal experiences to make the presentations anecdotal and fun, with a fabulous PowerPoint presentation to make the talks visually stimulating.

We have the pleasure of presenting to community groups such as Scouts, Tidy Towns etc.
We aim to engage groups in the importance of watching out for wildlife as well as tips on how to make their communities more wildlife-friendly.
Supported by visual aids we offer anecdotes on the type of wildlife casualties presenting to vets and how communities can help negate the reasons for admissions and encourage healthy wildlife populations.
