CROW staff members to serve on FWRA advisory board
Yvette Carrasco and Missy Fox, staff members at the Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife, were recently elected to serve on the advisory board for the Florida Wildlife Rehabilitators Association at the FWRA Symposium, which took place Oct.4-7 in Haines City.
Fox, who is a certified veterinary technician and certified wildlife rehabilitator, brings nearly seven years of wildlife and domestic animal care experience to the board, including working at CROW since 2014.
Carrasco, also a certified wildlife rehabilitator, has been involved with wildlife rehabilitation for over six years and has worked at CROW since 2015.
The association is a non-profit, membership-based organization that has been providing education and informational support to wildlife rehabilitators in Florida and elsewhere since 1988. The FWRA provides networking and educational opportunities for rehabilitators, thus enhancing the general level of wildlife care.
Marking its 30th year, the annual symposium offers basic and advanced training courses, as well as expert speakers on a variety of topics such as specialized care of unusual species, laws and regulations, organization management, wildlife restraint, feeding and nutrition, reptile handling, seabird husbandry and medication, fund raising for non-profits and more.
