The DES OP Animal Rescue Station in Plzeň has been operating since 1992. The association Dobrovolný ekologický spolek – ochrana ptactva treats injured wild animals and returns them to the wild, with branch facilities in Kožlany and Staňkov. The reconstruction and expansion of the grounds was approved for use on 13 November 2025, and a natural history exhibition for environmental education is still being completed.
