EcoSolutions is actively involved in educational programmes and schools are also generally perfect sites for owl releases.We conduct owl releases at schools and other centres of learning and at present we have around fifty schools in the greater Gauteng area involved in these projects.

We do have a few owl release sites at certain individuals homes, but in each case the individual has to either build an owl release site according to our exact specifications OR have us build the owl release pen for them, which costs around R3,500, and this really does not suit the pocket of most people, understandably. The reason for this is that rescued or orphaned owls in captivity and scheduled for release are very strictly controlled and we have to rehabilitate them into the wild. They are tagged and monitored by the University of Cape Town and the process is strictly governed. They need to be monitored and fed in such a way that they can then become free creatures (again) with the minimum of risk to them.
