Voluntary Work
The Wildlife Sanctuary is reliant on volunteers to help support the centre and care for the injured, orphaned and rescued animals. Whilst at the sanctuary, some of the tasks you may assist with include animal care, food preparation and feeding, cleaning cages, cage construction, data entry fundraising, sorting fresh produce, grounds maintenance, rotating food supplies and enrichment.
The centre requires volunteers to carry out tasks wherever needed. If you have a certain skill such as landscaping, carpentry mechanics or maintenance you will have the chance to use these skills during your time at the sanctuary.
Occasionally you may have the opportunity to help with tour groups in educating the public as to why wild animals are not good pets, and about animal endangerment and extinction.
