🔺 Our Mission 🔺
Founded in 1997 in Cedar City Utah, we are a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, wildlife and environmental education, and the development of the Cedar Canyon Nature Park.
Rescue, Rehabilitate and Release
The Southwest Wildlife Foundation of Utah (SWF) cares for more than 100 sick, injured and orphaned native wildlife annually. Restoring them to health and returning them to the wild is our primary goal, but for those that cannot be released due to disabilities, the Cedar Canyon Nature Park (CCNP) can provide them with a permanent home in a natural setting while enhancing our visitors educational experience at the park.
Informing, Educating and Inspiring
The SWF provides over 100 educational programs reaching over 30,000 people annually. We believe providing educational outreach programs to schools, scout groups and community events, with focus on children and families, will make the greatest impact in preserving our wildlife, the environment, our public lands and our resources for future generations to enjoy.
Martin Tyner
Since age twelve, with a bird on his arm, Martin has captivated audiences sharing his knowledge and experience of his wildlife friends.
At age nineteen, Martin was hired as curator of birds of prey at Busch Gardens, CA. He also worked in the movie and television industry training big cats, elephants, primates, sea mammals and raptors.
“One of my greatest childhood fantasies was the desire to create a personal friendship with a wild eagle. I found myself with a love and fascination for these powerful creatures.”
Martin Tyner is a federally licensed falconer, eagle falconer, wildlife rehabilitator, wildlife propagator, and wildlife and environmental educator.
He has been providing wildlife and environmental programs throughout the western United States, to schools, scouts and community groups for over fifty years.
“Grandpa believed in a very simple philosophy; that a person should get up every morning and do good. Doing good means that you do well for others and doing well means that you do good for yourself. There is nothing wrong with doing well, but Grandpa always believed in doing good.”
Martin's book, Healer of Angels, reflects back on his life: from a young boy terrified of birds to becoming the first man in North America licensed to train a wild golden eagle in the ancient art of falconry.
Through a heartwarming collection of true stories he describes his challenging transformation from a shy dyslexic teenager, to the founder and CEO of the Southwest Wildlife Foundation.

OMG!!! SO ADORABLE!! I LOVE animals!! And Owls have such a special place in my heart. I've always loved eagles,hawks and Falcons but my ex girlfriend was obsessed with Owls so she got me hooked on them also which was easy since I already loved animals and was obsessed with Raptors. I'd LOVE to have this little fella. Even tho they belong in the wild. But if any were unable to live in the wild and needed someone to take care of them I would have NO PROBLEM! And would give the angels lots of love!!

The look of adoration in the eyes of the little Pygmy Owl when he looked up at Martin when being fed was so incredibly sweet. I just love Martin and Susan. Martin's voice is so calming and reassuring to these critters when they are frightened and in distress. Even though the wonderful people who took this baby to Martin were feeding chicken, my thought process, was wow, at least they tried to feed it. I think the Southwest Wildlife Foundation and their heartwarming and caring videos just could be the reason people are possibly being kind and caring. The videos make them aware of the need to care for our precious wildlife. As always, Martin you are my hero!!
