We treat and care for swans with a variety of injuries including those that have become entangled with fishing line and hooks, over head power lines (the biggest hazard to swans) also road traffic accidents and sadly deliberate cruelty. Most swans are returned to the wild after treatment but many due to their injuries will need the protection of the Swan Rescue Sanctuary to live out their life in the safe environment we have here for them. Here they can amble around have a swim, socialise with each other in peace and quiet.

Here they have no threats. Here they are safe.
