The World Owl Trust is a global charity working on behalf of endangered owls and their habitat. It is the world’s premier owl conservation organisation promoting research, habitat creation and restoration, nest box schemes, captive breeding and release programmes and education. 

At the Owl Centre, based in the beautiful gardens of Muncaster Castle in Cumbria, the visitor can enjoy the world’s most comprehensive collection of owls, see a flying display and gain information on the environment and work of the Trust.  Our wildlife hospital provides treatment and rehabilitation facilities for injured wildlife.  Rehabilitated patients are re-released into the wild where possible. 

The Trust works on conservation projects in the UK and overseas. 

Please help us continue our work, either by joining the Trust as a member, adopting one of our owls, giving a donation or remembering us in your will.
