Our Mission
Forest Therapy is a research-based framework for supporting healing and wellness through immersion in forests and other natural environments. Forest Therapy is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, which translates to “forest bathing.” Studies have demonstrated a wide array of health benefits, especially in the cardiovascular and immune systems, and for stabilizing and improving mood and cognition.
For over 35 years, Hawk Creek has served the Western New York community and beyond. Our educational reach is nationwide and our award-winning conservation efforts are recognized globally. We thrive to give thousands of animals a second chance, care for over 100 permanent residents, and reach audiences in the thousands per year with our exciting educational programming. Hawk Creek has also been featured on PBS and named a “Blue Planet Hero” by National Geographic. Our animal ambassadors and naturalists have been featured on Rachael Ray and NBC Today.
Wildlife Programs
Inspirational Experiences for Schools and Libraries, Day Care and Assisted Living Centers, Corporate Events, Community Festivals, Private Parties and Weddings. Our naturalists regularly appear at conventions and large public gatherings including Princess Cruise lines, The Central Park Conservancy, and the World Science Festival.
