Why give?

Restoration can rebuild

Field restoration research found high survival and increased flowering among transplanted adult Venus flytraps after dense shrubs were opened with mowing, with new seedlings persisting into a second season. Donations support habitat-restoration planning and the development of ethical propagation programs for future conservation work.

Survival converges

A 2024 U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service review found that post-release survival for many rehabilitated bird species becomes comparable to that of wild birds after about two months, and multiple studies document breeding after release. Your contribution helps build the facilities, care protocols, supplies, and veterinary partnerships needed for future evidence-based songbird rehabilitation.

Beauty can rebloom

A review of published Cypripedium (lady’s-slipper orchid) translocations found average first-year survival of about 66%, showing that carefully moved plants can establish. Your gift helps build the propagation capacity and conservation partnerships needed for future native orchid recovery work.

Proof songs can thrive after release

In one reintroduction project, 57% of released adult Eastern Bluebirds established territories and successfully nested—a hopeful benchmark for songbird releases. Your support helps us develop a responsible rehabilitation program designed to give releasable songbirds the strongest possible chance of thriving after release.
