From time to time Bywong residents may encounter an injured animal or

bird, or perhaps a snake trapped in tree netting. If we do, the

organisation to call is Wildcare.

 Wildcare is managed by volunteers who are dedicated to the

 preservation of Australian native wildlife. It rescues and

 rehabilitates sick, injured or orphaned native Australian wildlife,

 then releases them back into the wild. Each year Wildcare assists

 more than 800 birds, mammals and reptiles, and deals with about 5000

 telephone calls from the public.

We encourage Bywong residents to store the emergency phone number for

Wildcare in our mobile phones. That number is: 6299 1966.
