The Wildlife Center of the North Coast rescues and rehabilitates injured, sick, orphaned and displaced native wildlife with the goal of releasing healthy, strong creatures back into their appropriate habitat.The WCNC is the only wildlife care hospital on the Central and North Oregon coast, and we serve communities from Astoria to Newport. Our center specializes in seabird rehabilitation, but provides professional medical care for all native wild birds and most native mammals needing our help. We receive an average of 1,000 patients annually. A variety of seabirds, raptors, ducks, songbirds and mammals come through our doors every year, each in need of some kind of care. Whether injured, sick, starving or orphaned, we work hard to take care of their every need, get them healthy, and released back into the wild where they belong.We have a small, dedicated staff and depend on our amazing volunteer team and generous friends like you to continue the life-saving work we love. WCNC relies on public donations and grants to fund our daily operations.
