The Outer Banks Wildlife Shelter (OWLS) is a private non-profit wildlife rescue and education center. Our hospital includes 2 baby nurseries, an ICU, exam room and radiography as well as outdoor acclimation and release enclosures. We also have a hands-on classroom, large pond with catfish and other species, and a nature trail. The trail passes by our pollination garden, wildlife garden and permanent education animals, including mammals and birds of prey.
