Meetup: Make-Your-Own Animal Rescue Kit

Have you ever found an animal in need and not had anything with you to be able to help them? Having an animal rescue kit can be incredibly useful for emergencies. At this event you will get to assemble your own rescue kit with all the essential materials you’ll need to help animals you may come across. Nicole and Rhita, two incredible wildlife rescue volunteers with Yggdrasil Urban Wildlife Rescue, will be teaching us about what to do and what not to do if we find an animal, and what each item in the kit is most useful for. All materials for the kits will be provided and we ask for a suggested sliding scale donation of $10-$20 per kit and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Yggdrasil Urban Wildlife Rescue. In order to know how much materials we’ll need to provide we ask that folks who want to make and take home a kit please sign up and donate in advance by Venmoing @animalliberation with the note “rescue kit”.
