David Wilson Homes Supports Shropshire's Only Round-the-Clock Wildlife Rescue Centre

Strategic Insights -

Cuan Wildlife Rescue, situated near the developer's Otters Reach development on Buildwas Road, is the only wildlife rescue centre in Shropshire to offer a 24/7 service. The charity provides a vital service, welcoming an influx of creatures, including 74 owls last year, and aims to continue supporting and healing these birds thanks to the sponsorship of its hospital room for birds by David Wilson Homes. The sponsorship was offered to celebrate International Owl Awareness Day, which is designed to raise awareness about owls and their conservation. Cuan Wildlife Rescue admits 6,448 creatures into their facility every year, and their services extend beyond admitting animals to educating the public in the care and rehabilitation of wildlife and conducting research and advising other organizations in the field of wildlife rehabilitation.
