The Wildlife Center, a rehabilitation and education facility in Arroyo Seco, has chosen Katherine Eagleson as its new executive director.
Eagleson comes to the Center with 13 years of experience as the director of an agency providing services for abused children and families. Although working on behalf of children has dominated her work career, working on behalf of wildlife and the environment has been a life-long avocation.
Eagleson has volunteered in the Center’s intensive-care unit for over a year and has helped develop release plans for migratory birds. Katherine was also an Audubon Chapter president in the Adirondacks of New York and has volunteered with the Nature Conservancy.
The Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rehabilitation of sick, orphaned and injured wildlife. It also offers educational programs to schools, community groups and the general public. Visitors can take a self-guided tour of the Center’s 35 non-releasable educational animals, including eagles, bobcats and owls.
