In addition, cleaning and managing the enclosures with the animals requires strength and focus, thereby reducing environmental stress for the animal without compromising your safety too.
Likewise, for the Wildlife Rescue programme, you must be at least 21 years old (upon registration) to respond in potentially critical situations and stressful conditions involving wild animal/s and humans.
To participate in the Outreach programme you must be at least 13 years old.

In the past ACRES welcomed international volunteers, with on-site accommodation at the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre for a fee. Due to various reasons, including ongoing renovations and lack of free rooms, we have put this programme on hold until end of 2023. If you do not need accommodation, you are welcome to register through the regular volunteering page and help us!
