Conservation group learns about wildlife rehab centre
CROW is the oldest wildlife rehabilitation centre in South Africa.
The Bendigo Conservation Group hosted Lynn Crocker who gave a talk on the Centre of Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW) in Southport recently.
After 46 years in Yellowwood Park in Durban, Lynne moved to Palm Beach with her sister at the end of March.
She started working at CROW in about January 2021.
She had been watching Wild Earth on TV and thinking how great it would be to do something like that and with CROW right on her doorstep, it was the natural thing to get involved in. She contacted them about becoming a volunteer and started working with them.
CROW is the oldest wildlife rehabilitation centre in South Africa that is committed to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of indigenous wildlife.
Run by a small, yet highly dedicated and experienced team of staff and volunteers, it assists over 3000 orphaned, injured and displaced animals every year.
From mongoose, genets and monkeys to birds, reptiles and antelope, CROW represents a second chance at a free, safe and sustainable life for all wild animals in distress.
It’s encouraging to know there is a drop-off point on the coast, contact Lynn on 061 8316013.
