Profile

Tamarack Wildlife Center is a non-profit organization serving northwest Pennsylvania, licensed by state and federal governments to rehabilitate wildlife and conduct educational programs with our resident wildlife ambassadors. We specialize in birds of prey and care for other wildlife (including adult songbirds and other birds, mammals, reptiles, etc.) when we have the staffing, room, and funding to do so responsibly.

Each year, Tamarack admits hundreds of wild patients in the hopes of seeing them released back to the wild. We rely on the generosity of volunteers and donors to keep our doors open. We receive no government funding. Tamarack provides education programming for all ages throughout our region. During these entertaining and educational programs, non-releasable live birds of prey, an ambassador opossum, box turtle and snake delight audiences with stories of their natural history, rehabilitation journeys, and more! So far in 2024, 80 programs have been presented to 8,017 people.
