Wildlife Rescue Centre
New wildlife rescue centre in Hampshire
Animals’ Voice are in the process of creating plans for a brand new rescue and rehabilitation centre in Fordingbridge, Hampshire.
We have a vision to create a space which we can rehabilitate injured or sick wildlife, with the aim to return them back to the wild.
Over the years, our trust has taken in a range of injured animals through our chairman, however as our trust grew, the number of wildlife casualties are also on the rise.
From injuries from our domestic pets, to change of environments from loss of habitats to injuries in traffic accidents there is a need for further wildlife rescue centres to help address the increase in animal casualties.
The trust purchased a barn complete with land and a bungalow (currently used for holiday lets seven months of the year), we plan to transform into a fantastic wildlife rescue and rehabilitation facility for the community.
Transforming the buildings to be suitable for animal care, rehabilitation, and treatment are all part of an ongoing project.
If you are interested in volunteering at Butts Lawn Farm, there are several ways you can help. The rescue centre needs a wide variety of items and materials for us to keep wildlife comfortable during their rehabilitation.
Our conservation work includes plans to plant trees, build a wildlife pond and re-wild the existing farmland.
Below is a list of items which we will need to rehabilitate injured wildlife. If you can build or donate any of the below please get in touch.
- Shelters
- Aviaries
- Fencing
- Incubators
- Hand tools
- Bat boxes, bird boxes, enclosures for foxes
- Hedgehog pens
Plans for Animals' Voice Education Centre
On the same site as the wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre, we are developing plans for an education centre.
We aim to work with local organisations, helping to create an awareness around wildlife and the environment.
This will include nature walks, small nature ponds and encouraging children to have fun while learning the importance of wildlife.
Plans are in early infancy, however we will continue updating our progress as it develops. If you are interested in helping us at Butts Lawn Farm or volunteering at Animals’ Voice, please fill in the form below.
