Our Society
|
| The South Okanagan Rehabilitation Centre for Owls has been operating since 1987 as a non-profit registered society. SORCO
is a clinic and rehab facility for injured and orphaned birds of prey
(Raptors). Our purpose is to treat and release all birds of prey.
These include: Owls, Hawks, Eagles, Vultures, Falcons, and Osprey.
which are returned back into the wild whenever possible. Centre is
located just one kilometer south of Vaseux Lake near the town of Oliver
in the South Okanagan Valley of BC. SORCO is not a zoo. Due to
government restrictions, no public visitation at the facility is
allowed at this time. 98% of all orphaned chicks are able to be
released back into the wild. |
How Can You Help?
|
| SORCO is always looking for committed
volunteers who are dedicated to helping on site or by assisting in
public awareness displays. Manning a booth or donating special services
are just two of the ways that you can help. Volunteer orientation days
are planned throughout the year, so sign up by calling (250) 498-4251.
All volunteers must be 18 years of age or older, physically fit and
able to provide their own transportation. Other forms of support are
joining our Adopt-A-Raptor program, making bequeathment to the society
or donating material needed for various projects. All cash donations
and gifts in kind are fully tax deductible. |
