Why is it important?

Founded in 1997, The Wildlife Center of the North Coast is the only wildlife care hospital in the surrounding coastal region of Astoria, OR. They serve communities along the central and northern Oregon coast and care for more than 1,000 animals in a given year. The center specializes in seabird rehabilitation but provides professional medical care to all native wild birds and most native mammals in need. A variety of seabirds, raptors, ducks, songbirds, and mammals come through their doors every year, each in need of some kind of care. Whether injured, sick, starving, or orphaned, the center’s staff works hard to take care of their every need, get them healthy, and release them back into the wild where they belong.

How do they do it?

Operating under permits issued by the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife and the US Fish & Wildlife Service, WCNC rescues and rehabilitates injured, sick, orphaned and displaced native wildlife with the goal of releasing healthy, strong creatures back into their appropriate habitat. In addition, they offer wildlife conservation education programs to the community in the form of summer camps, school field trips, an ambassador animal program, the operation of their wildlife emergency hotline, and more.

ABOUT HEADLANDS COASTAL LODGE & SPA

Headlands Coastal Lodge & Spa is a luxury destination that takes full advantage of the rugged natural beauty of Oregon’s North Coast. A stay at Headlands is the perfect getaway—a windswept retreat at the edge of the world, for travelers who seek out the undiscovered, unexpected and unpretentious. Here, you’ll find countless opportunities to head out for adventures on the water, beach or trails on your own or with our Adventure Coaches — or stay in to recharge and restore in our warm, stylish lodge. We treat guests like family, whether at our modern but approachable Meridian Restaurant & Bar which sources its creations from local farmers, the sea, and Headlands’ own herb garden, or our intimate Tidepools Spa & Wellness studio. It’s hospitality, Oregon-style. Nestled along the coast in Pacific City, alongside Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area and Haystack Rock, the lodge is a two hour drive from Portland International Airport. Pushing Headlands Coastal Lodge further up the “Kindability” scale is their effort to support the Wildlife Center of the North Coast. Book directly with Headlands Coastal Lodge & Spa and positively impact the local community with the Wildlife Center of the North Coast.
