A community where wildlife thrives in coexistence with humans.
The mission of Northern Colorado Wildlife Center, a 501(c)3 independent nonprofit, is to protect wildlife and the places they call home through rescue, rehabilitation, education, and advocacy.
Rehabilitate sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife, and when successful, release those animals back into their natural habitats.
Educate the public about the natural histories of wildlife native to northern Colorado, ways to peacefully coexist with them, and provide humane solutions to human-wildlife conflicts.
Advocate for the preservation and restoration of native ecosystems that provide wildlife places to live and thrive.
Northern Colorado Wildlife Center (NCWC) is a rapidly growing nonprofit dedicated to wildlife rehabilitation and education. Since its founding in 2016, NCWC has developed a strong reputation for providing life-saving care to injured, orphaned, and sick wildlife. Based in Northern Colorado, NCWC primarily rehabilitates reptiles and amphibians, but also assists with wildlife rescues across all species in the region. The center works extensively within Larimer, Weld, and surrounding counties.
In 2024 alone, NCWC has admitted over 2,300 wildlife patients, and the organization has reached more than 15,000 people through its education and outreach programs. NCWC continues to expand its efforts, focusing not only on rehabilitation but also on educating the community about how to live harmoniously with wildlife. The center is also working on securing more resources, such as vehicles and staff, to support its growing impact.
NCWC’s mission emphasizes both hands-on care for wildlife and preventative measures through public education, ensuring that future generations can coexist with Colorado’s diverse and fragile ecosystems.
