Help Build the future of wildlife rehabilitation and Conservation education in Miami-Dade
Our capital campaign is a testament to the legacy of Pelican Harbor Seabird Station founders Darlene and Harry Kelton, who established PHSS over 40 years ago.
Our current 950-sq.-ft. hospital was built in 1992 to care for a few hundred pelicans annually. Some thirty years later, we have expanded our mission to include nearly all native wildlife, and due to the ever-increasing threats to our wildlife population, we now treat 2,000+ patients a year of over 150 distinct species. But it’s not enough. We have no room to support the significant increase in patient load. We have no education center to bring schools on-site to ensure that future generations understand the importance of conservation in the community. We have no ICU for our patients in the most critical condition. We lack quarantine quarters so are unable to accept certain species in need. We have outgrown our beloved Seabird Station and need to build a new space that will facilitate strong strides in the preservation and protection of native species through educational and scientific means.
