Become a Member of TRAC! We invite you to join a special, caring group of individuals who are working to protect West Virginia's threatened wild birds. Three Rivers Avian Center (or "TRAC" for short) is actively engaged in wild bird veterinary care as well as rehabilitation, research, and public environmental education.

Your tax-deductible membership donation will immediately be put to work to provide funding for:

complete veterinary care and physical rehabilitation of hawks, owls, herons, eagles, grebes, warblers, neotropical migrants, osprey, falcons, and more
ongoing research projects focusing on West Virginia's wild birds, giving us the tools to better understand and protect them in their daily lives
award winning environmental education programs to audiences of all ages in a variety of settings, including schools, colleges, state parks and forests, camps, and more.

TRAC is a private, nonprofit organization established in 1990. Our mission is twofold:to provide veterinary and rehabilitative care to West Virginia's threatened wild birds and to educate and involve the public in natural resource conservation and research. TRAC is a member of the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council, the National Wildlife Rehabilitation Association, West Virginia Partners In Flight, and the National Association of Interpretation. Three Rivers Avian Center is located on a 102 acre wildlife sanctuary in Summers County, just off Route 20 near Hinton in the New River Gorge. Public tours of the facility are available on the first Saturday of the months of May through October from 1 - 5 pm.

Funds for TRAC come from our members and our public environmental education programs. Grants provide restricted funding for some projects. Your support is vital and will make a difference!
