Join Ballarat Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation (BWRAC) members at the library and learn to make pouches, wraps and slings to support native wildlife in care. Patterns, fabric and sewing machines are provided – prior sewing experience is not necessary but is useful!
Children ages 12+ are welcome but must be accompanied by a parent/carer.
This program is supported by a grant from the City of Ballarat as a part of the 'I Heart Ballarat Wildlife' community impact project.
ON HOLD - Sat 21st March 2026 Basic Wildlife Rescue & Transport Training
BWRAC regrets that the Basic Wildlife Transport and Rescue training scheduled for Saturday 21 March cannot proceed as planned. One of the Victorian organisations has just announced a review of their Fast Track program which requires us to put on hold our rescue and transport training.
Once their review is complete, BWRAC will review our resources to address any new requirements and we look forward to rescheduling the training. Anyone who has already booked and paid for this round will be refunded.
We want to provide the best training possible and ensure that our training remains consistent with other wildlife organisations in Victoria.
Many thanks for being a supporter of local native wildlife.
We will add your name to our wait list for any future training.
This program is supported by grants from the City of Ballarat as a part of the 'I Heart Ballarat Wildlife' community impact project and the WIRES National Grant Program.
