Nestled in a gulch beside Forest Park, the Wildlife Care Center here treats injured native wildlife. If you're lucky, you can meet some of the 'educational' birds of prey that can't be released back into the wild. There's also a Nature Store, and 4.5 miles of forested trails in the nature sanctuary.
