Lower Moss Wood is one of three organisations making up The Wildlife Rehabilitation Coalition, along with the British Wildlife Rehabilitation Council and The Skye Environmental Centre.
The Coalition’s aim is to provide a forum for other wildlife rehabilitators, likeminded people, veterinary surgeons and associated staff to meet up once a year to disseminate information in the form of a symposium. We also arrange workshops/courses at which people with varying skill sets can meet up and advance their knowledge on a wide range of wildlife rehabilitation topics - for example, radio tracking and microscopy. Charges for these courses are kept to a minimum and any profit is invested in future events.
