| May 3 is Tri-State’s annual open house. We will be welcomed as a special group and provided with a guide to introduce us to their facilities and take us on a behind-the-scenes tour of their clinic and campus. Bring your family; there will be fun activities for the children. There will also be local groups and organizations exhibiting there to help raise awareness and appreciation of our natural world. So come meet the bird experts and enjoy this exceptional educational opportunity.
Tri-State Bird Rescue & Research was founded in 1976 in response to a major oil spill and its devastating effect on local birds. Their immediate purpose was to establish a multi-disciplinary team of wildlife biologists, veterinarians, pathologists, chemists and concerned citizens to study the effects of oil on birds and develop protocols necessary to treat affected wildlife. Thirty years later, Tri-State continues to be a leader in oil spill response and is internationally recognized for its oiled bird rehabilitation and research.
