Firstly, to inform young people of the work carried out at the hospital. We outline the different species of wildlife in our care, discuss the problems involved in looking after injured and sick animals and stress the importance of our rehabilitation programme which ensures that as many animals as possible return to the wild. Occasionally, an animal cannot be released and so we have a few permanent residents at the hospital, some of whom may accompany us on talks. Secondly, to demonstrate how young people may play an active role in the conservation of Britain's wildlife and to protect and improve the environment, not just for their own benefit, but for future generations as well. At the end of our talks, 'Question Time' frequently reveals the genuine concern and enthusiasm young people already have for this subject.
Talks can be very amusing as well as informative.
Our charges for talks vary, and the talk itself may be tailored to your specific requirements.

If would like to help raise funds for Hydestile Wildlife Hospital and have a suitable and safe place to display our collection box, please send a S.A.E to address above or ask Graham if he visits you. We've got some great gift ideas. How about adopting one of our resident wild animals.
