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.
