The SWF cares for more
than 50 sick, injured & orphaned native wildlife each year.
Restoring them to health and returning them to the wild is our primary goal
but for those that cannot be released due to disabilities, the Nature Center
can provide them with a permanent home in a natural setting while enhancing
your educational experience when visiting the park.
With its focus on wildlife and
environmental education, the SWF provides approximately 100
programs, reaching over 30, 000 people annually.
The Southwest
Wildlife Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public organization, to provide
wildlife rehabilitation and to promote wildlife education in Southwestern Utah,
based in the Cedar City area.
Mission
Statement "The Southwest Wildlife Foundation is dedicated to wildlife
rescue, wildlife and environmental education."
"Everybody has to chose their own path, and mine's critters," Martin
Tyner said.
This goshawk was approximately 6 months old and on
its first migration. It was unable to successfully hunt to feed itself
and the young hawk ended up in a back yard in Cedar City catching and
killing a chicken. After killing the chicken, it did not have enough
strength to eat. The Southwest Wildlife Foundation was called in to pick
up the young hawk. It spent a couple of weeks with us feeding
vigorously, putting on weight, and regaining his strength. Once he was
ready to continue his migration, he was released from Cedar Mountain
overlooking Cedar City.
