November 25th, 2022Hepburn Wildlife Shelter needs you…

The Hepburn Wildlife Shelter is extending a big thankyou to all of “the wonderful volunteers who have worked, and continue to work, with such commitment and passion to help
the local wildlife” ahead of a special volunteer recruitment afternoon in Daylesford.

A spokesperson with the shelter says:

“Over the twenty years that the Shelter has being
operating we have had many dozens of people work at the shelter,
sometimes for a few months and sometimes for many years. We
have had the privilege of meeting and working with people that
we otherwise would not have met in our daily lives.

“Volunteering at the shelter can bring you closer to wildlife, but
let’s face it, there is little glamour in picking up poo and cleaning
cages.

“External rewards and accolades are scarce, but personal
satisfaction and impact are high. Many volunteers who work with
the wildlife express feelings of revelation and new connections.
The wildlife shelter would not be here for the local wildlife but for
the reliability and compassion of a few people within our community.

“We extend our heartfelt thanks to all of you, past and
present.

“We are now recruiting new volunteers.
