‘WildBird’ migration underway in Houston

HOUSTON — After almost seven years operating mainly out of a garage, Alaska WildBird Rehab Center is migrating to a new location off Kenlar Road.

The new rehab facility is set up in a stand-alone building large enough to handle the many birds that come through the center’s doors each year. The facility is located on a 25-acre parcel, leased long-term from the city of Houston, which includes space for expansion.

To support the nonprofit, a garage and bake sale fundraiser is planned from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., July 20 and 21 at 6601 S. Calista Drive, Settler’s Bay, Wasilla, Mile 8, Knik-Goose Bay Road.

Volunteers also are needed to help with various jobs at the WildBird Rehab Center, including help reconstructing the rehabilitation center and bird enclosures (or mews) at the new location.

To volunteer, contact Jill Parson at 892-4404 or call the center’s new phone and leave a message at 892-2927.
