Education at the Center for Birds of Prey

Audubon programs are a tangible way to supplement school curriculum and create a more meaningful experience to learn about nature and birds.

So Many Ways to Learn 

With live bird ambassadors and hands-on activities, participants explore the relationship of people to their natural environment while discovering the role raptors play in our local ecosystems as well as how individuals can have a positive role in the environment. At the center or at your location, you can experience the role raptors play in all of our lives.

Education and outreach programs are offered to diverse groups of all ages. If your school or organization requires financial assistance, please contact auduboncbop@audubon.org to request a scholarship application. Applications are reviewed on a case by case basis.
