The center operates a clinic and outdoor enclosures where injured and orphaned wildlife receive medical care, rehabilitation, and recovery until release when appropriate. Visitors can book guided experiences that showcase the center’s work while supporting local conservation efforts. Educational experiences include the Bird Lover's Morning, where a Bird Curator leads training sessions with resident ambassador birds Cormie and Nelle. Guests observe species-specific training techniques and learn about bird behavior, husbandry, and communication. The Cormie Encounter + Private Guided Tour offers a focused interaction with Cormie, a double-crested cormorant, alongside a private walkthrough of the facility. The Private Guided Tour provides an exclusive overview of the clinic’s daily operations, outdoor enclosures, and the center’s rehabilitation protocols. Each tour is presented in a controlled, animal-centered environment that prioritizes welfare and minimizes stress for patients and ambassadors. Trained staff and volunteer educators guide visits, explain rehabilitation procedures, and answer questions about local wildlife and habitat. All experiences contribute directly to the center’s mission by generating support for patient care, supplies, and outreach programs. The center’s location in Astoria offers easy access for regional visitors and supports community awareness of coastal wildlife conservation. Visitors should book in advance to secure preferred dates and help the center plan for animal care needs. Programs support local education partners and volunteers, and fees for tours help fund veterinary supplies, food, and facility maintenance and increase rescue capacity during peak seasons.
