The Clallam Marine Resources Committee (MRC) and its partners invite the public to participate in “March 2018 – Oil Spill Preparedness Month” by offering wildlife classes.

On March 24 and March 31, the Clallam MRC in partnership with Islands Oil Spill Association will be hosting two free wildlife classes at the Clallam County Fairgrounds in Port Angeles.

The first class focuses on search and collection covering topics such as search and collection planning, search and collection procedures, initial “beak-to-tail” examination and treatment, health and safety, and effects of oil and secondary complications.

The second class focuses on basic intake and stabilization covering topics such as health and safety, bird anatomy and family characteristics, effects of oil and secondary complications, and hands-on bird anatomy and basic examination.

To register for one or both classes, visit www.clallamcountymrc.org or call 360-417-2416.
