Wildlife Capture and Transport Pennsylvania Certification Class
This all-day course is the first step in helping those seeking permits for the capture and transport of wildlife in Pennsylvania meet the state permitting requirements.
This course covers the basics of wildlife capture in the field, including legal issues, safety, equipment, recognizing true emergencies, proper capture and handling techniques.
Following the class, students will have one week to complete an online exam covering the material. A passing score of 80% (along with sponsorship from a permitted wildlife rehabilitator and approval by the local WCO) is necessary for obtaining a permit in Pennsylvania.
