Who we are
We’re a fledgling nonprofit working to heal, protect, and restore North Carolina’s native biodiversity. Our work focuses on conserving native orchids and carnivorous plants through habitat-first stewardship, ethical propagation, and education, while preparing to provide permitted rehabilitation for injured and orphaned native songbirds so they can return to the wild.
We’re currently developing facilities, securing the required permits and certifications, and building partnerships with local experts, landowners, and agencies. We aren’t yet accepting public bird intakes. Donations are welcome and help support the careful, compliant foundation needed to grow our conservation and rehabilitation programs for long-term impact.
