Alec Suttenwood has been interested in wildlife for most of his life and, in recent years, has become more aware of the problems they can encounter, both natural and man-made.

Several years ago, he decided to do something about it, and attended a local college to gain some knowledge and qualifications in the rescue and care of injured and orphaned wildlife.

The result is Ipswich Wildlife Care and Rescue, an organisation set up to be the first contact in a case of an injured wild animal and the care of orphans, all with the intention of releasing them back to the wild where they belong.

His main helpers are his wife, Stephanie, and their three children.

Fundraising is important, and to this end Alec does talks on wildlife in local schools and youth groups, sometimes assisted by one of the animals he is currently treating. Alec believes the raising of awareness is one of the more important objectives on these occasions and will visit and talk to any organisation that is interested.

If you want Alec to speak at your organisation, school or event, please feel free to contact him!
