2022 WILDLIFE GOODWILL AMBASSADOR TRAINING & CERTIFICATION ZOOM) CLASSES
Our goal is to fill a vital need-to let people know, often for the first time, that there are effective and lasting humane alternatives to killing, trapping and relocating "nuisance" wildlife. Wildlife Goodwill Ambassadors help create humane "No Trap-No Kill-No Relocate" communities.
This course covers various do-it-yourself humane techniques of how to get wildlife to leave the inside of homes/gardens so neither they nor their babies are harmed nor killed.
WGAs (Wildlife Goodwill Ambassadors) also learn what to do and what not do for injured and orphaned wildlife prior to getting them to rehabilitation.
Please be clear: Wildlife Goodwill Ambassadors do NOT rehabilitate wildlife. ONLY licensed Wildlife Rehabilitators care for wildlife.
Information presented in the WGA Program is from: Humane Society of the United States' WildNeighbors.org website, urban wildlife biology research studies, wildlife rehabilitators and other experts involved with evidence-based humane resolutions.
We are seeking serious, responsible individuals who will read the assignments, attend all 4 one hour-long Zoom classes and join our private Facebook page "WILDLIFE GOODWILL AMBASSADORS CAFÉ". Certificates are awarded upon completion. There is no charge for this training. You must be 16 years or older. Space is limited.
** To be considered, please submit an email to: animaltalk@optonline.net telling about yourself and why you want to become a Wildlife Goodwill Ambassador. Indicate which class group you wish to attend: Sundays or Wednesdays.

Mission Statement
The Volunteer Bird Transport Brigade (VBTB) mission is to help transport injured or orphaned wild birds to licensed NJ wild avian (bird) rehabilitators for the Associated Humane Societies animal shelters. Transports are made as needed & volunteers sign up to be on-call & committed for specific days to transport. Spring thru Fall are especially busy times. We are avian ambulance drivers. We pick up the contained birds & drive them directly to the rehabilitation center, usually The Raptor Trust in Millington NJ. We do not have the radio on while driving the birds nor pause for selfies nor to show the stressed bird to anyone. VBTB is the lifeline to recovery for these birds!
