Tochigi Prefecture Seeks Volunteers to Help Injured Wild Birds and Animals

Tochigi Prefecture is inviting people to volunteer to help wild birds and animals that are injured or sick. To become a volunteer, you need to attend a training on November 15, 2026, where you will learn the basics. The training includes information about Tochigi's rescue system, how to handle injured wildlife, and a tour of rescue facilities. Volunteers must live in Tochigi Prefecture and arrange their own transportation to the venue. There is no cost to join, but volunteers should bring writing materials. Applications can be made by phone, fax, mail, email, or online form. The deadline for applications is November 12, 2026. For details and updates, contact the Tochigi Forestry Center.
