Founded in 1989, RWRC has grown to be the largest rehabilitation and education center of its kind in Texas serving over 100 counties. In 1999, through a collaborative effort between the EPA and RWRC, a closed 260-acre landfill was reclaimed and the wetland habitat restored. As a result, Rogers Wildlife relocated its rehabilitation and education center to Hutchins, TX and now serves as a home to thousands of birds each year. Our overall goal of the educational program is to foster the link between wildlife habitat, schools and community organizations.
