Wildbase stall at Womad festival

Massey's Wildbase team will be at the World of Music and Dance (Womad) festival at Pukekura Park in New Plymouth next weekend.

Wildbase is New Zealand’s only dedicated wildlife hospital, and the team is taking part in the festival to raise awareness about the work it does with endangered birds and animals.

The festival includes more than 40 performing groups from 20 countries. Wildbase conservation partner Shell New Zealand, which is as the sponsor of the festival’s children’s area, suggested Wildbase staff be present.

The stall will be at the Kunming Garden area and include a display of plans for a new wildlife hospital. Tee-shirts and little blue penguin soft toys will be on sale and team members will talk about the work they do.
