In Memoriam
"If you take care of birds, you take care of most ​of the environmental problems in the world"

​-Thomas Lovejoy (1941-2021)

Biologist, Conservationist, and Ripley Board President
​The Conservancy is open for public visitation:
Fridays - Sundays from 10:00AM – 4:00PM.
​Please read our HPAI Precautionary Measures here before visiting

OUR GOAL

To mend what is broken and to help provide waterfowl with the best chance of survival.
Research
We partner with outside organizations to investigate species' needs, create awareness, and share our collection with those who are also working towards waterfowl conservation. 
Education
Through our in-school, online, and on-site programs, we give people a reason to be moved to protect our natural world. We partner with local organizations, to increase reach to children and adults and ensure that our message is heard by as many people as possible.
Conservation
To minimize further loss of biodiversity, we breed rare and endangered birds in captivity, to ensure that the secrets that they hold are not lost to us forever.
