You’re on the road, the drive is smooth when suddenly an animal jumps out in front of you and you hit it.

Such an experience can be unpleasant and traumatic, so NRMA Motoring & Services has joined with Wildcare to alert motorists of the Wildcare rescue service.

“The Wildcare rescue number will be signposted in 20 key locations in south-east New South Wales so that motorists can call and receive a swift response should an animal require assistance,” says NRMA Motoring & Services President, Alan Evans.

Wildcare volunteers serve NSW communities around Bredbo, Bungendore, Queanbeyan, Jerrabombera, Yass and Young.
