Our Mission - On our 3½ acre site on Fox Hollow Road, we have created a nature center and wildlife hospital, with outstanding facilities for both those birds in rehabilitation and those on permanent display. We have the opportunity to develop a world class facility on a larger site - to be an economic asset, as well as educational resource, for our community - but we need your generous financial assistance. Our goal is to enhance understanding, appreciation and respect for wildlife and stewardship of their world - which happens to be our world, too!
