Sequoia Park Zoo Conservation Lecture ~ March 12
March 11, 2014
The next and final (for this series) lecture in the Sequoia Park Zoo Conservation Lecture series will be held March 12 in the Sequoia Park Zoo Classroom.
Join us on Wednesday, March 12 at 7 p.m. to learn about wildlife rescue and rehabilitation during the Zoo's final free conservation lecture of the series.
Humboldt State University is a member of the California Oiled Wildlife Care Network, a statewide collective of trained wildlife care providers, regulatory agencies, academic institutions, and wildlife organizations working to rescue and rehabilitate oiled wildlife in California. The network is recognized as a world leader in oil spill response, rescue, rehabilitation, and research, and is an outstanding example of what is possible when diverse institutions and organizations work together toward a common goal.
In this talk at the zoo, Tamar Danufsky, Museum Curator and Marine Wildlife Care Center Coordinator in the Department of Wildlife at HSU, will present information about the network and past oil spills on the North Coast. Ms. Danufsky will discuss how the rehabilitation process works, why it is appropriate to rehabilitate oiled wildlife, and what happens to the rehabilitated wildlife once it is returned to the wild after cleanup.
The talk will take place in the Zoo’s classroom in the Secrets of the Forest building at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 12, and a reception will be held half an hour beforehand. There is no charge to attend, and both Zoo members and non-members are invited. Enter through the main Zoo gates.
