Norma Cogar Memorial Wildlife Center
Who Are We?
Norma Cogar Memorial Wildlife Center is dedicated to the protection, conservation, and research of wildlife in our area and how we can help them survive during these trying ecological times.
Through our efforts in wildlife conservation, we have made a difference for wildlife in the Cincinnati area since our beginning.
We were initially founded in 2006 as Cincinnati Exotics Animal Center. We officially changed our name in 2019 to help promote our more regional awareness work.
We were granted 501(c)3 status on October 30, 2024.
Conservation Through Education and Experiences
We aim to help others understand and desire to be a part of the conservation movement through education and unique experiences. From witnessing the release of animals rehabilitated after injury (through video), to seeing them in a natural enclosure enjoying life as though they were in the wild, to seeing animals in the wild on our Nature Hikes Series, we aim to bring everyone the opportunity to enjoy wildlife and be a part of conservation.
Our Accomplishments
Over the years, Norma Cogar Memorial Wildlife Center has achieved many important milestones in the world of conservation. From reintroducing endangered species to the wild, to establishing protected habitats and helping wild animals go back home during rescues (not requiring extended care), we are proud of the work we have done to protect wildlife and promote biodiversity.
