The primary mission of CROW is the rescue, care, rehabilitation and eventual release back to the wild of sick, injured and orphaned native wildlife. Inherent in this mission is the education of adults and children to insure their peaceful coexistence with their wild neighbors.

Under the direction of a full time staff veterinarian, CROW's Staff provides high quality medical care to more than 4000 patients annually, representing over 160 different wildlife species. The medical care incorporates both western and eastern modalities such as: surgery, acupuncture, proper nutrition, herbal supplements and physical therapy.

Much of the trauma experienced by wildlife is a direct result of interaction with humans. An important part of the CROW mission is to increase public awareness of the perils to which wildlife is subjected in the face of continued land development and human population growth and activity.

CROW seeks to prevent these environmental hazards through a variety of educational programs designed to help us respect and protect our native wildlife populations and to preserve the delicate natural balance required by the habitat they must share.
