Clinic For The Rehabilitation Of Wildlife (CROW)

CROW's Visitor Education Center (VEC) offers behind-the-scenes views into CROW's animal care through live camera feeds, interactive displays and daily presentations by students, staff and volunteers. Each year, CROW cares for approximately 3,500 wildlife patients including more than 200 species of sick, injured and orphaned wildlife in its veterinary hospital, which is one of the nation’s leading rehabilitation facilities for native and migratory wildlife. CROW offers educational fellowships and externship programs for undergraduate students, and internship programs for veterinarian graduates. Volunteers are the cornerstone of CROW and each year more than 200 volunteers dedicate thousands of hours helping rescue, care for and rehabilitate wildlife. CROW offers a series of educational experiences for guests and their families to enjoy while on vacation. Options include exploring our onsite Visitor Education Center (VEC), sitting in our daily “Wonders of Wildlife” presentations or joining us for guided “Wildlife Walk” through the hospital. In addition, CROW hosts seasonal “Lunch and Learn with Dr. Barron” and “Speaker Series” programs from January through April. In accordance with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Regulation 68A-9.006, wildlife patients receiving care or medical treatment at our facility are NOT on exhibit to the general public.
