About Us
The Ark Wildlife Rescue is the only wild bird rehabilitation for northeast Florida-serving 8 counties. Founded in 1999 by Karen Ward-Lynch, and a team of dedicated volunteers with a passion for wildlife and commitment to animals safety and health. Working tirelessly to offer care and rehabilitation to songbirds, seabirds, marsh birds, birds of prey, turtles, tortoises, and small mammals.
