I found an injured or sick animal in the wild! What should I do next? This conversation covers how to safely assess a situation, recognize signs of distress or injury, and avoid unintentionally harming an injured wild animal or yourself.   Attendees will learn practical steps to take if they find an injured animal and aim to promote responsible, humane action that gives wildlife the best chance of recovery and return to its natural habitat.
