The Oiled Wildlife Society of BC works closely with other wildlife organizations in the event of an oil spill. As such, oiled wildlife training resources are typically invested in groups of individuals with some previous experience handling or working with wildlife. We strongly encourage individuals who are interested in volunteering in oiled wildlife response to first gain some experience volunteering with their local wildlife rehabilitation centre. For a list of centres in BC please see the Wildlife Rehabilitators Network of BC.[/toggle] [toggle title=”Train in Oiled Wildlife Response” open=”no”] The Oiled Wildlife Society and the Wildlife Rehabilitators’ Network of BC are hosting Oiled Wildlife First Responder training courses.  Course modules cover:
