Center for Birds of Prey at the Avian Conservation Center opens to the Public

In existence since 1991, the Center for Birds of Prey opens to the public for the first time June 5. Now under the umbrella of the Avian Conservation Center, the Center for Birds of Prey and the Avian Medical and Oiled Bird Treatment Facility identify and address vital environmental issues through avian medicine, educational outreach and conservation initiatives. Situated on a 152-acre campus adjacent to the Cape Romain Wildlife Refuge and Francis Marion National Forest, the center features display aviaries and flight demonstration fields, as well as facilities to provide medical care for injured birds, environmental education and scientific research. With its June 5 opening, visitors will have the opportunity to experience birds of prey in a natural setting and to learn more about avian science and environmental conservation.
