Our Mission

Every Raptor Deserves a Second Chance

From the moment a bird of prey is found injured or displaced, we mobilize to ensure it reaches the care it needs. We are building a future where raptors thrive — and where our community is equipped to protect them.

Wildlife Transportation

We coordinate rapid transport of injured and displaced raptors to licensed rehabilitation facilities throughout California's High Desert and Inland Empire regions.

On-Site Triage & Care

When time matters most, we provide interim care for displaced or injured animals — from orphaned barn owls to injured Cooper's hawks — until professional treatment is available.

Rehabilitation Facility

We are actively constructing dedicated raptor rehabilitation chambers on our Wrightwood property, with the long-term goal of becoming a fully licensed wildlife rehabilitation center.

Right Now

Boots on the Ground in the High Desert

Wrightwood Raptor Center is currently active in wildlife transportation across San Bernardino County and the Inland Empire, working with licensed rehabilitation facilities to ensure every animal is matched with the right care at the right facility.

Behind the scenes, we're building the infrastructure that will allow us to provide on-site rehabilitation — three raptor rehab chambers and one falconry bird chamber are currently under construction on our Wrightwood property.
