| The Avian Reconditioning Center is a not for profit birds of prey rehabilitation and education facility. One of our main focuses is the physical reconditioning of raptors that have been inactive for an extended period of time while recovering from illness or injury. We also use falconry techniques to evaluate a bird's chances for survival in the wild after recovering from an injury and to teach nestling birds how to hunt. Education is a primary focus as well and we provide many education opportunities using live birds of prey. |

The Avian Reconditioning Center was recently given a Conservation Award for our efforts in wildlife education and rehabilitation from the USF&W Service South East Regional Director. Shown here are Scott & Carol accepting the award. We thank the USF&W Service for this recognition of our efforts. It is because of our volunteers that we are able to do the work we do...we have no paid staff, but yet accomplish a great deal in our public education efforts and our rehabilitation work. We thank our volunteers for all their hard work. Our wonderful volunteers are shown above at our annual Volunteer Appreciation BBQ. If you would like to help out...please come on out! We always welcome new volunteers!! THANK-YOU!! If you would like to volunteer to at ARC help PLEASE give us a call! We always have so much going on and can use the help. (407) 461-1056 |
