OWCN

Each spring and summer, wildlife rehabilitation centers across California prepare for one of their busiest times of the year: baby season.

From roughly April through September, many species of birds and mammals give birth and raise their young. For wildlife rehabilitation centers, including many organizations that are members of the Oiled Wildlife Care Network (OWCN), this means a dramatic increase in patients arriving at their doors.

Spill response, that’s what we do! So, when we had to cancel the 2021 Oilapalooza Conference due to the Pipeline P00547 incident we wanted to find a unique way to offer some of the exciting topics we had planned for the conference to our Network. That brought us to the creation of the 2022 OWCN Lecture Series. And, just like that, those 6 months have passed, and we’ve presented the entire Lecture Series!
