Our Mission
Oregon Raptor Center

---

The mission of Oregon Raptor Center is to protect birds of prey and their environment through:

• Rehabilitation: Caring for sick, injured, or orphaned birds of prey and returning them to the wild (ORC's raptor rehabilitation activities are temporarily reduced until we have the financial and volunteer support needed for the program).                                                    
  
• Public education: Offering educational programs and raptor rehabilitation clinics to teach others about the importance of birds of prey. A fee is charged to help support raptor care programs.                                                   
  
• Conservation: Supporting legislation and working with state and federal wildlife agencies to protect birds of prey and preserve their habitat.   
  
  
• Research: Researching ways to improve habitat, rehabilitation techniques, and increase raptor populations.

Accomplishments: Since starting in Salem, Oregon in 1989, ORC has cared for over 700 birds of prey, 357 of which were successfully released back to the wild. ORC has conducted over 317 educational programs reaching over 55,000 people and has sponsored several raptor rehabilitation clinics.
