Winter Wildlife Appeal

As temperatures drop and the chill of winter sets in, British wildlife faces one of its most challenging times of the year. Many animals, from hedgehogs and dormice to birds and badgers, struggle to find food, shelter, and warmth.
Jack Hunter MBE
Jack was one of the USA’s most respected conservationists and a passionate advocate for wildlife protection and environmental causes. He dedicated his life to American wildlife and worked tirelessly to ensure countless injured and orphaned animals were given a second chance in the wild through rescue, clinical treatment, and rehabilitation.
He campaigned relentlessly to raise awareness of the plight of wildlife and the importance of all species.
Jack believed that every animal matters. He was committed to redressing the damage man has done to the environment. He was passionate about the importance of environmental education and hopeful for a future in which man respects and protects the natural world.
His loss will be greatly felt by his loved ones, 2-legged and 4-legged, alike.
Rescue Stories

Rescue Stories
When a wild animal is in trouble we will do everything we can to help. Often this will mean rescuing the animal in stressful and potentially dangerous situations. We have a 24 hour helpline and are waiting for our next call to action!
Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation
Once an animal arrives at our wildlife hospital it will be examined and treated by our expert team of wildlife vets and vet nurses. Once back on the road to recovery we ensure a careful programme of rehabilitation.
Release

Release
When our animals are ready, we will release them in a suitable area. Often this is the same place from which they were rescued but it is always an area that will support their species and offer them the best possible chance of survival.
