Professional care
EAST WINCH WILDLIFE CENTREHow it all began:-During the seal virus epidemic in 1988, the RSPCA and Greenpeace were given an old garage in Docking, Norfolk as a base to treat sick seals. It soon became clear that a permanent wildlife treatment centre was badly needed to care for many other wildlife casualties which were being brought in. Consequently, the RSPCA purchased and converted an old farm building in East Winch and the Wildlife Centre was opened in 1992.
RSPCA East Winch Wildlife Centre cares for thousands of wildlife casualties each year. We have trained and dedicated personnel including veterinary surgeons with detailed knowledge and a wide experience of wildlife care, rehabilitation and post-release monitoring.
