December Winter Wildlife Class with A.E.R.O.: Keeping Wildlife Alive: The First 24-Hours

  • When wildlife is injured or displaced, the first 24 hours are critical. Learn how to provide immediate care, including first aid, proper handling, and nutritional support to stabilize animals until they can be transferred to a rehabilitation center.
  • Each class will offer hands-on practice, informative presentations, and the opportunity to ask questions and engage with other wildlife enthusiasts. We highly encourage you to attend all four classes to gain a comprehensive understanding of wildlife rescue and care.
  • *Please note: this is not a class to teach about rehab. Long-term rehab is much different, and this is no substitution to a licensed rehabber.*


Other Details:

  • The Fairfax County Animal Shelter Michael R. Frey Campus is located at 4500 West Ox Rd., Fairfax, VA 22030.
