The Adirondack Wildlife Refuge and
Rehabilitation Center
Adirondack
Wildlife is a rehabilitation and education organization, whose mission
is to
take in, rehabilitate and, whenever possible, to return to the wild,
injured or
otherwise disabled wildlife, working with local veterinarians and
volunteers.
In addition, we run educational programs and presentations, primarily
working
with non-releasable birds of prey and wolves, to foster compassion,
tolerance
and understanding of wildlife, particularly with respect to safely
interacting
with wildlife, and understanding the valuable role predators play in
the over
health of our eco-system. The three aspects of the educational role are
maintaining a mile–long, guided, interpretive trail at the Adirondack
Wildlife
Refuge and Rehab Center, and conducting interactive presentations at
the
Center, and at public venues, such as schools, colleges, fairs and
churches. 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! |
