Horizon Wings also values your donation of time. We are always looking for dedicated
people willing to volunteer their time helping out at the center. Volunteers help with
cleaning cages, feeding and watering birds and helping to build new cages and maintain
existing ones. Maintaining the grounds is also a never ending task. Very dedicated
volunteers will also have the opportunity to help on educational programs, and participate
in the care and eventual release of rehab birds. High school and college students looking
for credits or experience in the wildlife field are always welcome. We do our best to make
volunteering at Horizon Wings a fun and educational experience. We especially need
volunteer help in the spring, summer and fall. Please feel free to contact us to schedule an
appointment.
Students and staff from the E.O. Smith Depot Campus
School who volunteered their time to help with some
spring cleanup. Thanks Again.
Because of a very generous donation
from Joseph and Mary Mersereau we
were able to build this out building
used for the care of rehab birds
before they are ready for outdoor
flight cages. The donation was made
in the memory of Joseph's brother
Gerald Mersereau who banded over
8,500 raptors as a volunteer for the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The place looks
great! Thanks,
