We THANK everyone that helped with our fall fund raiser! Our center really does depend on the wonderful help of so many great people in our community. Thanks to many helping hands we had volunteers, sponsors and lots of new visitors to our center. Our volunteers helped in so many ways; in the kids tent, at story time, our "Raptor Room" classroom, the educational enhancement shop, selling ARC concessions, and helping watch the birds. We had really great sponsors of our Fall Owl Fest again this year and many local participants that set up educational booths, interesting yard ornaments, great treats and some just really great information to be shared about our wonderful native habitats. We can always use good volunteers at ARC, if you would like to volunteer at ARC PLEASE give us a call! We always have so much going on and we can REALLY use the help! THANK-YOU!! (407) 461-105 |
| 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 young birds how to hunt. Education is a primary focus as well and we provide many education opportunities using live birds of prey. |
