Come see the birds of the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center who will be here at The Church! Join Tammy Flanell, Education Animal Manager at the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center as she introduces us to a few feathered friends. How well do you know the Native wildlife on the East End? This is a great opportunity for kids and parents to learn more about ways they can interact and help their local wildlife and the people working to protect and preserve them.
Attendees will learn a about the diversity of species on the East End, the personal story of each bird visiting us, and more about the rescue center. By providing rehabilitation services for animals and education for humans, the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center continues to preserve and protect. And you can too!
Following the brief presentations, the audience will be able to ask questions and take photos with the birds. Please note: Attendees will not be able to touch, hold, or pet the birds.

Estelle Alexander was born in 1910, married to Jack Alexander, and had one child, Leslie Alexander. Estelle went by Evelyn. She was an artist and a great singer and always loved animals. In response to a generous endowment presented to the Wildlife Rescue Center by Mr. Leslie Alexander in early 2011, the Wildlife Rescue Center became the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center in honor of Mr. Alexander’s mother.
The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center, Inc. is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to the rehabilitation of wild animals impacted by the encroachment of humans on their habitat. It is a grassroots organization that grew from a few concerned friends to a group of over 1000 members and supporters. The center is a full-time professional wildlife hospital staffed by licensed rehabilitators, biologists, animal behaviorists, and volunteers. Over 100 people have been trained to assist in wildlife rescues.
The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center is located on Munn’s Pond Park through a cooperative licensing agreement with Suffolk County Department of Parks, Recreation, and Conservation. The center is situated on a greenbelt of public land parcels totaling several thousand acres and stretches from Tiana Bay to Peconic Bay located on the eastern end of Long Island, NY. This is a unique and irreplaceable ecosystem consisting of salt and fresh water wetlands, pine barrens, deciduous forest, and meadowland.
It is the perfect setting for a wildlife rehabilitation center. The hospital is designed exclusively for wild animals. Unlike a veterinary hospital, there are no ambient noises or smells to stress the wildlife that are recovering within. The Wildlife Rescue Center receives over 15,000 calls each year for information or assistance with wild animal encounters. We also provide educational programs to local elementary and secondary schools. Students from local colleges participate in cooperative education programs and internships.
