How Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers uses your donations to save lives
Our Wildlife rescue and rehabilitation group have been looking after the wildlife in the Tweed Shire for over thirty years. We work 365 days a year with our hotline open 24 hours.
Thanks to your support, we:

- Subsidise the fuel costs of our rescuers who drive all over the shire daily
- Subsidise the food costs of the 1,500 wildlife in care that we return to the wild every year
- Raise community awareness on world environment day, providing the public with flyers, joining information and wildlife facts
- Provide and update member training for specific species groups and hold new member orientation several times a year, ensuring that correct rescue procedures are followed
Your donations assist our group to expand and help more animals and birds
