Description

Summer is here at Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center (SWCC) and that means the kick-off of special programs and unique tours. Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center rescues and rehabilitates wildlife that has been injured, displaced, or orphaned and rehabilitates them to be released back into the wild. SWCC invites you to join in the fun this summer with an array of activities to choose from!

“New animals are arriving on a daily basis, many of which are almost ready to be released into the wild. We have several baby skunks, raccoon kits, bobcat kittens, coyote pups, and javelinas. We even have a bullfrog with a wounded leg we found on this very property! There is never a dull moment here at SWCC and we are excited for the launch of summer programs and tours,” says Linda Searles, executive director of Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center.
