SALAMANDERS AND BATS AND SNAKES OH MY!!!

GONE WILD FOR WILDLIFE – An Educational FUNdraiser for the Whole Family.

Join the Wildlife Rehabilitation Society of Saskatchewan for a fun filled day at GONE WILD FOR WILDLIFE.  There will be live wildlife from near and far, interactive and educational displays, and fun and informative lectures.  There will also be a silent auction fundraiser and many activities such as owl pellet dissections, science experiments, learn how to band birds, make bird feeders, juggling fun and much more.

WRSOS’ primary goals are to prevent the unnecessary removal from the wild of wildlife, to provide rescue and transportation to qualified care of those that do need help and, to ensure the return to the wild of rescued and rehabilitated wildlife.  Through events such as GONE WILD FOR WILDLIFE, WRSOS aims to raise awareness and knowledge about wildlife, rehabilitation and nature preservation in Saskatchewan and to promote understanding and respect for wildlife.

Established in 2006, the Wildlife Rehabilitation Society of Saskatchewan is a volunteer driven, registered non-profit organization.  WRSOS’ first line of defence is our emergency hotline.  This phone line is manned 12 hours/day, 365 days/year.  The hotline gives the public an avenue they can take when they find an injured or orphaned animal or when they have questions or need advice regarding wildlife issues.  A dramatic increase in calls – from 177 in 2006 to well over 3,000 in 2019 – only highlights the need for an organization like WRSOS.

WRSOS has approximately 130 volunteers and two paid summer student employees on the emergency hotline.  WRSOS’ efforts are supported by 20 vet clinics province wide that volunteer their services free or at a reduced rate and 10 provincially licensed wildlife rehabilitators from Wapella to Meadow Lake.

All funds raised from the event will go towards helping WRSOS continue their efforts to help keep Saskatchewan’s wildlife wild.  

ADMISSION: $5.00 PER PERSON OR $20.00 FOR A FAMILY.  TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR.
