The Owls Trust

The Owls Trust, based at Bodafon Farm Park, Llandudno, is a small charity doing a big and important job. We have one of the most comprehensive collections of owls on display to the public in the UK. There are three main strands to our work. Firstly, we provide rescue and rehabilitation to injured birds of prey. We nurse the wild birds back to health and, when they are ready, we release them back into a suitable habitat. We are often asked to step in to rescue “pet” owls. These birds are frequently distressed and in poor condition. When we can we give them a permanent home with us where they can regain a good quality of life in more spacious and appropriate surroundings suitable to their specie. Our second activity is to educate young people and older groups about our birds of prey, their place in our environment and how we can maintain their habitats to protect the bio-diversity of our countryside. Finally, we work with international partners to create and maintain breeding stocks of the world’s rarest owls. When imperiled habitats can be restored and protected, we will then be able to enhance threatened populations or even reintroduce new groups.
