A Legacy in Flight
Celebrating 25 Years of Wildlife Rehabilitation, Education & Conservation
Give Today to Help Us Soar Into the Next 25 Years
This year marks Ojai Raptor Center’s 25th anniversary and the retirement of our founder, Kimberly Stroud. What began as a grassroots operation in her backyard in 2000 has grown into one of California’s leading wildlife rehabilitation organizations.
Over the past 25 years, ORC has cared for more than 28,000 wild animals, rehabilitated an average of 1,100 raptors each year, and built the largest flight enclosure in Central and Southern California. We’ve inspired thousands of students through science-based education programs, placed hundreds of nesting boxes to provide habitat and sustainable rodent control, and trained the next generation of conservationists through internships, externships, and volunteer programs.
The Next Chapter Begins With You
As we celebrate 25 years of ORC and honor Kim’s extraordinary legacy, we invite you to help carry it forward. Your gift to A Legacy in Flight will ensure ORC can continue to:
- Rescuing and rehabilitating injured raptors
- Inspiring youth through environmental education
- Protecting wildlife and habitat for generations to come
