Why Your Support Matters
Each year, ORC cares for thousands of injured, orphaned, and displaced birds. These animals face countless challenges, including habitat loss, wildfires, pollution, and human impact. With the largest flight pen in California, our center provides state-of-the-art care, allowing these raptors to build strength, learn essential survival skills, and return to their natural habitats where they belong.
Together, we can create a better tomorrow for raptors and the next generation.
For 25 years, Kim built the foundation that allows us to care for wildlife and serve our community. The Kimberly Stroud Legacy Fund honors that legacy by strengthening the long-term stability of our organization. This fund supports investments that build resilience, expand capacity, and ensure our campus, team, and programs remain strong for the decades ahead.
