RAPTOR VIEW EDUCATION

As apex predators, raptors are a compelling focus for teaching students about basic ecological principles and conservation issues. Raptors command a certain respect and sense of “awe” due to their size, beauty and simply by virtue of their predatory design and ecological roles.

Programs that reach our community, especially blossoming biologists, are an important part of Raptor View. We mainly offer sessions to high school age students and adults, but if there is a group of students you would like to see exposed to raptor identification, trapping techniques and ecology, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The high school programs consist of a series of days in the field, identifying and banding raptors. In the winter and spring this takes place in one of the nearby valleys where there is a known abundance of birds. In the fall, we invite students to join us on Rogers Pass to experience a scientific trapping station first hand. Our programs have been enjoyed by Willard School,a local alternative high school and Missoula Youth Homes: Radke House and Talbot House.
