Messinger Woods Wildlife Care And Education Center Inc

Messinger Woods Wildlife Care and Education Center Inc is a nonprofit organization based in Orchard Park, New York. With approximately 165 devoted volunteers, they operate a state-of-the-art wildlife hospital in Holland, New York, under the guidance of veterinarians. This year, about 350 animals received treatment at the hospital or were home-cared for by volunteers. Unfortunately, waterfowl avians were excluded from treatment due to Avian Influenza, which would normally account for an additional 75 animals. The organization is well-known for rehabilitating birds of prey in two large flight cages, with one measuring 165 feet long, 35 feet wide, and 40 feet high, approved by the US Fish and Wildlife Department for bald eagle treatment (one of three in New York State). In a typical year, they release around six rehabilitated bald eagles back into the wild. Messinger Woods also supports other wildlife organizations, including Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, through their unique flight cages. Despite limitations due to the Wuhan Virus, they offered around seven or eight talks and seminars for public education. Public assistance via phone logged 1092 calls, although some unlogged calls existed due to time constraints. Their mission encompasses the rehabilitation of injured and orphaned wildlife, providing public assistance, and promoting education through talks and presentations on wildlife concerns and general wildlife interest.
