Description:
Pacific Wildlife Care (PWC) is San Luis Obispo County’s only licensed rehabilitation center that cares for injured birds, mammals, and reptiles. PWC also maintains a wildlife hotline that the public can call to report distressed wildlife–injured, sick, orphaned–and to receive information about local wildlife. In this presentation, longtime PWC volunteer Claudia Duckworth will show us what is happening behind the scenes at the rehab center, and will explain how the animals received by the center are treated, cared for, and rehabilitated.
