The primary objectives of the “World of Owls” are to insure the survival of the world’s owls. This will run hand in hand with conservation, education, research and restoration of the wild habitat the owls need.
We aim to have a visitor centre that can be enjoyed by every section of the community. The “World of Owls” centre is wheelchair accessible. Staff are trained in all aspects of working with the public including special needs training.
