We have developed innovative education programs to meet the needs and interests of a variety of audiences, including: Students Corporations Special interest groups. Live Raptors as Educators Our interactive programs feature live, non-releasable raptors appropriate to the topics of interest. Our educational programs provide the opportunity to get close-up views of some of New Mexico’s most spectacular owls, hawks, and falcons. Education raptors have the uncanny ability to inspire and change people of all ages, from school-children to electrical company linemen, far more effectively than words. We see the sense of wonder as people realize the importance of environmental conservation.
