Support Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education

At Ojai Raptor Center (ORC), every day is dedicated to saving lives and inspiring change. We are a wildlife rehabilitation nonprofit specializing in the rescue, treatment, and release of birds of prey, as well as other avian species in need. From majestic hawks and falcons to owls and eagles, these incredible creatures rely on us—and we rely on you.

Why Your Support Matters

Each year, ORC cares for thousands of injured, orphaned, and displaced birds. These animals face countless challenges, including habitat loss, wildfires, pollution, and human impact. With the largest flight pen in California, our center provides state-of-the-art care, allowing these raptors to build strength, learn essential survival skills, and return to their natural habitats where they belong.

Beyond rehabilitation, we are passionate about educating the next generation of environmental stewards. Through engaging educational programs, we bring the wonder of raptors to schools and communities, inspiring a deep connection to wildlife and a commitment to protecting our shared environment.
