Raptor Education Programs

The Maryland Raptor Conservancy is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that offers raptor education programs in Maryland for public and K-12 audiences. We do live bird of prey programs that focus on native Maryland raptors and how to practice conservation in our yards and neighborhoods to help raptors survive and thrive.

When you attend one of our programs or events, you’ll learn fun facts about Maryland’s native birds of prey. Some of the things you’ll learn are:

We do our programs and events at Maryland schools, festivals, community events and in private settings. You’ll be able to see birds of prey up close and learn about individual raptor species found in our area. 

Anyone who loves birds of prey and wants to learn more about them, as well as seeing one up close will enjoy our raptor education programs.
