Orange Beach Celebrates Grand Opening of Wildlife Center

March 05, 2026

On January 6, the City of Orange Beach unveiled the newly completed Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. The project was made possible through a local, state and federal partnership, utilizing over $1 million in federal RESTORE Act funds and over $600 thousand in additional funds from the City of Orange Beach to design, construct, and equip the much-needed facility. RESTORE Act funds were allocated to the project by the Alabama Gulf Coast Recovery Council, of which Orange Beach Mayor Tony Kennon is a member, as a part of Alabama’s 2018 State Expenditure Plan. Located on a ten-acre site in Orange Beach, AL, the state-of-the-art facility is a significant expansion of a program that began in the late 1990s as a local initiative to respond to injured or sick wildlife.
