The Adirondack Wildlife Refuge and
Rehabilitation Center
..... is located at 977 Springfield Road, in Wilmington, New York, on 60 acres along the West Branch of the Ausable River, about a mile downstream from Whiteface Mountain, on that section of the river called "Lake Everest". Wendy has Federal and State licences for wildlife rehabilitation and wildlife education, and we are available to do presentations for schools, churches and other organizations. For sample, click here. When you work with support from local veterinarians to care for sick or injured wildlife, there are three common outcomes: naturally, some animals die despite your best efforts, while others recover to the point where they are able to forage and/ or hunt, and can be released into the wild. The birds of prey who remain in our care, and are used in educational demonstrations and displays, are raptors who are generally healthy, but unable to hunt for themselves, due to partial blindness, permanent wing injuries, etc. Donations help us build enclosures for non-releasable raptors, and pay for medical procedures and supplies for recouperating raptors. We are currently applying for non-profit 501-C status, which means donations made prior to the granting of such status, will become tax deductible when the status is granted. The refuge includes a one mile educational hiking trail, which also serves as a Public Fishing Access trail, and winds its way along the river and river sloughs, through forest and meadow. Our enclosures for education birds include Red-Tailed Hawks, Broad-Winged Hawks, Rough-Legged Hawks, Swainsons Hawks, Peregrine Falcons, Great Horned Owls, Barred Owls, Screech Owls, Turkey Vultures and Ravens. The refuge mascots are Cree, a wolf-hybrid, and Zeebie, a wolf pup. If you're in the area, stop by and see what's going on! |

"A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason
and the most radiant beauty - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude;
in this sense, and this alone, I am a deeply religious man." Albert Einstein

"Those who dwell...among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life. . .
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.
The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us,
the less taste we shall have for destruction."
Rachel Carson

I believe in the cosmos. All of us are linked to the cosmos. So nature is my god.
To me, nature is sacred. Trees are my temples and forests are my cathedrals.
