The Hocking College Experience

ICYMI: Hocking College Hosts Introduction to Wildlife Rehabilitation Workshop

Hocking College hosted an Introduction to Wildlife Rehabilitation workshop on Sunday, March 31. Wildlife Rehabilitation, or the process of nurturing orphaned and injured wildlife back to health, interests many people from all walks of life. From what people watch on television, wildlife rehab can appear to be a very glamorous activity, with volunteers gracefully freeing bald eagles into the sky and caring for adorable baby animals.

However; in reality, rehabilitation of wild animals involves around-the-clock care, and the understanding that many animals do not survive or are unable to be released back into the wild. Thus, it’s truly a labor of love, but can be very rewarding for those passionate enough to put their heart and souls into these animals.

Hocking College's Wildlife Club Gives Students First-Hand Experience as a Wildlife Technician

Hocking College's programs are all focused on real world, hands-on experience. The same can be said for Hocking College's Wildlife Club. The Wildlife Club provides many opportunities for students in the Natural Resources program to gain invaluable experience, network with professionals, and uncover the commonly asked question: What does a wildlife professional do?
