COBEQUID WILDLIFE REHABILITATION CENTRE

about

Our Mission

The mission of CWRC is the rehabilitation and release of injured and orphaned wildlife while educating and inspiring people to care for wildlife and wild places. Since the vast majority of our patients are with us as a direct result of human activity, we understand that ensuring a safe future for our patients means inspiring humans to care for the natural world for generations to come.

About

Located just outside Truro, Nova Scotia, the CWRC has spent more than 20 years dedicating itself to wildlife rehabilitation. From humble beginnings treating injured birds in our founders’ shared apartment, the centre has grown steadily and now cares for over 200 animals of varying size and species each year. Home to Canada’s first continuous raptor flyway, ‘The Big Jeezley’, the CWRC has gained international recognition for its expertise in the treatment of eagles and other raptors.

The CWRC has one permanent paid employee and depends on volunteers and fundraising efforts to continue its work.

In the interest of the animals in our care, we are not to open to the public. Our primary goal for patients is to ensure that they can recover and return home. As wild animals, our patients find the presence of people very stressful, it is imperative to their success in the wild that they do not become accustomed to us humans. We deeply appreciate that people want to learn more about the natural world and we are dedicated to public education as part of our mandate. We strive to increase public awareness about common human-wildlife intersections, and we are happy to offer seminars to schools and community groups who would like to learn more about wildlife.
