Each year, we provide people from Calgary and surrounding areas with expert and compassionate care for the wildlife that live in our communities and wild spaces. We treat and rehabilitate animals so they are ready to return to the wild and release them.

Throwback Thursday! Here’s baby Lito in 2012. This curious Swainson’s Hawk came to us as a nestling with a fractured wing and, because of the permanent damage, couldn’t be released to the wild. His calm nature and curiosity made him an incredible part of our education program for many years.
