S2E14: More On Social Media For Wildlife Rehabilitation

In Part 2, host Gail Buhl talks more about social media for wildlife rehabilitation settings in Part 2 of an in-depth discussion with Amanda Nicholson, senior vice president of the Wildlife Center of Virginia. Amanda is one of Gail's go-to gurus for all things social media. This part of their discussion gets into best practices, including avoiding posting content that could jeopardize a wildlife rehabilitator's permit status. It also touches on engaging audiences through livestreaming on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, and later gets into whether or not it's a good idea to use social media platforms for fundraising. Show Notes:Publications by Amanda Nicholsonhttps://nwrajournal.online/index.php/bulletin/article/view/128
