Who We Are
Ohio Wildlife Center (OWC) is a leader in wildlife rehabilitation and conservation education. We treat nearly 5,000 animals in our wildlife hospital every year and reach thousands of adults and children through education programs. OWC is a private, non-profit organization. We rely almost entirely on the generosity of individual and corporate donors, and private grants. Thank you for your support!
Aveda Partnership
OWC is proud to be a partner with local Aveda stores and salons. As one of the most environmentally friendly companies in the world, Aveda leads the way in conservation efforts. For the next three weekends (August 28 and 29, September 4 and 5, and September 11 and 12) haircuts at the Easton Aveda location (4050 The Strand West, Columbus 43219) will be $15 and all proceeds come directly to OWC. Thank you to all Aveda store staff for their generosity and support of OWC! Call 614-476-9600 to schedule.
Current Items Needed in Hospital
Thanks to everyone helping with our ducks in need! We are pleased to report that all of the ducks suffering with botulism poisoning have been successfully released. Thanks to everyone for donating needed care items so quickly!
OWC is using 100 pounds of dry dog food each week. The food feeds skunks, raccoons and opossums. If you are able to donate bags of dry dog food, PLEASE bring to our wildlife hospital at 2661 Billingsley Road. Thank you!
Open to the Public
OWC's Education Campus is open seasonally (April through November) for public visitation Wednesdays from 10am-4pm. On any day of the week, we can schedule group tours, birthday parties, meeting space or other programming. Please call (614) 734-9453 for more information and to schedule.
