Mission
RAPTOR Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of birds of prey through rehabilitation, education, and community service. We hold the proper state and federal permits that allow us to rehabilitate over 250 birds of prey annually and deliver over 350 educational presentations each year at schools, libraries, senior centers, and other community events. We strive to protect raptor habitat and educate the public about the importance of birds of prey to our environment.
