Another Successful Working with Wildlife course!!!

The Working with Wildlife team have just returned from Queensland where they conducted a 2 day Catch & Relocate Venomous Snakes - Remote Regions course for North Goonyella Coal Mine.

Check out the feedback!! - 

Good Afternoon,

A big thank you must go out to you and your people. I have asked most people that attended the course last week and they have nothing but praise for you.

“Awesome”
“Amazing”
“Best ever”

Makes me want to attend myself. When they speak of the day they are animated and I can see they enjoyed themselves immensely. Thank you.

Regards

It is fantastic to receive feedback like this - the goal of Working with Wildlife courses is to make the work environment a safer place by teaching people about snakes and their behaviour when they come into contact with people, but it is just that little more satisfying when people thoroughly enjoy what is being shown to them - shouldn't that be the purpose of any training course that you send your staff to - educational and enjoyable?

Is it worth considering a Working with Wildlife training course for your staff?

Check Out The Online Snake Awareness Course Now!!!

Readers of this blog that are interested in the Working with Wildlife Online Snake Awareness Course will be pleased to know that there have been a number of enhancements made to the course after feedback we have received from participants.

Among other things, you now get two chances to successfully complete the course!!! We added this functionality because there is so much information available through the course that it may take a couple of runs through it to absorb all the information it provides.

Give it a try - it is a fantastic course if you want to learn about snakes and their behaviour when they come into contact with people - we are sure that you will thoroughly enjoy it and have a much better understanding of snakes and their behaviour once you have completed it.

Want To Make A Real Difference?

People who have been to Working with Wildlife presentations, or read the information available on our website, will know that one of our goals is to help people get a better understanding of our environment and surroundings.

A great part of this business is that you get to meet people who have a similar mindset.

It is through meeting these likeminded people that we have recently been made aware of a competition that is being held in South Australia, called the Zero Carbon Challenge.

The competition involves builders who have been set the challenge to build a Zero Carbon Home.

There are 4 finalists left in the competition and Working with Wildlife's vote is going to Energy Aspect Living. This group is passionate about making a real difference in how homes are designed and built to reduce your carbon footprint.

They have set up a website called Zero Carbon Home where you can read about the Challenge.

Now, here's how you can make a difference!!!! As part of the Challenge, a Facebook Page has been set up where you can vote for the builder you think should win - we would encourage anyone who wants to make a real difference in how homes are built in the future to vote for Team Energy Aspect Living - they are second on the list.

Good luck Energy Aspect Living - you definitely have our vote!!
