Our mission is to conserve native wild birds and to educate and involve the public in ecosystem stewardship through educational outreach, wild bird rehabilitation, restoration, and research projects.
Three Rivers Avian Center (TRAC) is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization focused on wild bird conservation, ecosystem education, and community involvement. Established in 1990, TRAC features a 110-acre facility situated in the scenic New River Gorge area of southern West Virginia, between Sandstone and Hinton in Summers County. Bordered partially by the New River Gorge National Park & Preserve, TRAC’s location provides an ideal setting for bird watching, wildlife viewing, and connecting with nature. We offer programs and resources on wild bird preservation, habitat restoration, and environmental stewardship for all ages. Visit our avian conservation center in West Virginia today.

Ever seen a Common Raven up close? Look at this pattern in Myrtle's feathers when the sun hits just right. They are striped! Learn about this and more interesting insights at our free Public Tour Day tomorrow from 1 pm until 5 pm. Remember the last tour starts at 4:30! Come visit with ALL our Ambassadors: hawks, owls, falcons, turkey vulture, raven and bald eagle. The event is free, open to the public, donations are needed and very welcome!!! We are glad to have our wonderful friends from Hanging Rock Raptor Observatory here as well .
We have been having phone problems, so if you have called and we didn't return your call, that is why. Please reach out again if you need us! Also this is "baby season" and it is in full swing, most are for baby songbirds. Remember, most birds do not eat earthworms, and especially when they are young. The parasites in the earthworms are dangerous to a young bird, the adult bodies seem to be just fine.
Three Rivers Avian Center is hosting our Free Public Tour Day this coming Saturday, June 6th from 1 to 5 pm.
