A big thank you goes also to Sarah Fyffe who helped get us as well to get onto the Pet Xpo.

Native Animal Rehabilitation Centre (Native ARC)
|
Native ARC (Native Animal Rehabilitation Centre) is a volunteer non-profit organisation set up in 1989 and run by Karen Pryce-Howells, a registered CALM wildlife carer, initially at her Coolbellup home.
In November 1998, Karen leased land adjacent to the Cockburn Wetland Education Centre in Hope Road, Bibra Lake, from the City of Cockburn. This has since been developed to provide a natural setting for the treatment and rehabilitation of all types of animals, birds and reptiles either brought to the centre or collected by a Native ARC volunteer.
It is also an ideal location to release many of the animals when fully recovered. Many of the animals are injured while others are sick, distressed or exhausted (particularly big sea birds such as giant petrels blown off course by storms).
The aim of Native ARC is to rehabilitate sick, injured or orphaned wild life back into their natural environment as soon as possible. Unfortunately some of the animals cannot be returned to the wild because of their injuries. In these cases, they are retained for educational purposes and for breeding. Some of these animals also become foster parents to young injured animals.
