In 1961 the late Horace Quick (1891 - 1966), a local artist and wildlife enthusiast, gave Mallydams Wood to the RSPCA so that the woodland could benefit wildlife. To help us carry out Horaces wishes we built a small wildlife rehabilitation centre and, since the doors opened more than 50 years ago, over 35,000 sick, injured and orphaned wild animals have been treated at the centre.

Mallydams Wood Wildlife Centre is equipped to deal with a variety of wild animals, from orphaned fox cubs to oiled birds. Our 55-acre woodland nature reserve provides a fantastic habitat for all sorts of wild animals. From foxes and badgers to owls, dormice and lizards.

Without donations from amazing supporters like you, we could do continue the work that we do. All fundraising helps to fund our facilities. Thank you for your support.
