AWR does raptor rescue and live bird wildlife education. In our history, we’ve done more 3600 rescues and more than 3200 educational events in the Triangle area. We are all volunteer, and are a registered nonprofit charity. The American Wildlife Refuge provides the necessary care to rehabilitate injured raptors and release them back into the wild. For birds that are unreleasable, we provide refuge facilities and are networked with other rehabbers and organizations to place birds. We also provide educational shows and presentations to the public. Private shows and presentations for educational or youth groups are available for a nominal fee, and can be tailored to your curriculum. All proceeds from shows and any and all donations are spent entirely on the care and feeding of the birds and the maintaining of the refuge organization. No salaries or fees are paid to the volunteers.
