Welcome to the
Giaquinto Wildlife Center
Who We Are
At the Giaquinto Wildlife Center, we are a family run nonprofit dedicated to the rehabilitation and care of injured and orphaned native wildlife. Based in Marlborough, Massachusetts, we serve both our local community and surrounding areas, providing compassionate care while promoting responsible wildlife coexistence.
In addition to wildlife rehabilitation, education is a core part of our mission. Alongside our educational ambassador barn owl, Bella, we offer engaging and informative programs for schools, libraries, community groups, and families. Our programs are designed to inspire people of all ages to better understand native wildlife, the challenges these animals face, and how simple actions can help protect them.
Through hands on learning, conservation focused education, and meaningful community outreach, we aim to foster empathy, awareness, and long term stewardship of wildlife. Whether caring for an individual animal or educating a room full of families, we strive to make a lasting impact one animal, one family, and one conversation at a time.
Services
We are currently limiting our wildlife rehabilitation intakes for 2026.
Our mission continues to focus on educating the public about how to safely coexist with and conserve our native wildlife. By raising awareness, we hope to reduce the number of injured and orphaned animals admitted to our center and others across the state. Education is the first and most effective step in preventing negative human impacts on our natural world.
