This came through on LISTSERVE thought I'd pass it along.
Wildlife Response, Inc (WRI) is sponsoring “The Effects of Oil Spills on Wildlife” , a Tri State Bird Rescue seminar on March 3, 2007. This day long course will cover the following topics:
CLASSROOM TOPICS
*The effects of oil on wildlife: illustrations of internal and external effects on wildlife, and basic treatment guidelines
*Initiating a response: a mock “response” to an oil spill. This will help identify key people, how the State and Federal governments are involved, and just how much is involved with a spill response.
*Special Considerations in Treating Wildlife: the effects of handling and captivity on wild animals, and disease concerns
*Non Petroleum Contaminants
*Treatment and Techniques for Non-Avian Species
*Oil Spill Jeopardy
LAB TOPICS
*Medical Care and Husbandry: handling and treatment, housing and nutrition, criteria for release techniques
*Cleaning and Rinsing Techniques
Please sign up today as there is a limited number of seats available!! This course will fill up fast!

Other classes TBA.
