Three Rivers Avian Center (TRAC) is dedicated to wild bird conservation and teaching the public about the importance of maintaining and preserving the ecosystem.

Founded in 1990, the 100-acre facility is situated between Sandstone and Hinton in Summers County along the southern part of the New River Gorge National River. The avian center rescues, rehabilitates, and releases back into the wild a variety of non-game and endangered wild birds from hummingbirds to eagles, soaring, and wading birds. If birds cannot be released into the wild after rehabilitation, they are cared for at the center.

Three Rivers Avian Center is open seasonally on the first Saturday of every month from May through October and offers free tours for visitors by appointment only.
