Thanks to Our Supporters - Our Heroes at Wild Days
At Wild Days Wildlife Shelter we are overwhelmed by the generosity of the community to the plight of our wildlife. Below are some examples of the generosity in time, effort and money that some people have given in support of the work done at the shelter.
We would not be able to continue without this support.
We thank every supporter, large or small, time, money or goods.
Wild Days would like to acknowledge and thank all of the volunteers:-
regular volunteer teams, Junior volunteer teams, casual volunteers, fundraisers and educators, working bee and event volunteers, pouch sewers, supplies gatherers, vets and vet staff, rescuers and transporters, and also the members of the community who took the time to stop and take action when encountering an animal in distress.
We would like to recognise all contributions below and all others who may not be listed.
