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.
The “World of Owls” at Randalstown Forest has a range of facilities that enables it to be a visitor destination for a full or half day visit. There is an indoor and outdoor display area, shop, small café, outdoor displays, walks, play area and services.
The “World of Owls” is also benefiting province wide community groups by providing job skills training to a number of different welfare, and community based organisations.
We facilitate different schemes in many different categories in which individuals can learn skills to help aid them gain long-term employment.
We work with Jobs & Benefits, schools, colleges, universities, disability groups in providing work experience placements and training.
