The Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW) is a teaching hospital and education center dedicated to saving wildlife through state-of-the-art veterinary care, research, education, and conservation medicine.
Our staff of Doctors of Veterinary Medicine, Certified Veterinary Technicians, and Certified Wildlife Rehabilitators facilitate optimal wildlife patient care through rescue, recovery, rehabilitation, and release.
Wildlife are sentinels of ecosystem health. Through our patient care, we can identify shifting environmental conditions, initiate research efforts, and collaborate with local, statewide, and nationwide partners to find solutions.
Did you know Florida has one of the most biodiverse ecosystems? Our education team offers school presentations, animal ambassador encounters, wildlife care camps, and more! Come explore our Visitor Education Center to learn about wildlife at CROW.
Our organization focuses on this interdisciplinary field which combines veterinary science, public health, and conservation biology to promote both ecosystem health and the well-being of our native and migratory wildlife.
