Liberty, a two-year-old bald eagle, while soaring in the Oregon sky, was shot in the wing and is no longer able to fly. Now living in our sanctuary, Liberty is our responsibility for the next forty years as we honor, respect, and enrich his life.
As one of our wild teachers, he serves as a reminder that we all need to take responsibility for our environment and each other, and do our part to live in balance with the wild animals with whom we share this beautiful world.
Reaching tens of thousands of children each year with their message, our wild teachers inspire empathy for all life. But it is your support that makes it possible.
Your generous, tax-deductible year-end donation helps us provide our inspirational wildlife science programs in over 300 schools, transformational at-risk youth programs for over 140 youth, and peaceful sanctuary for over 50 non-releasable wild animals.
