What is the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program?

The Rocky Mountain Raptor Program (RMRP) is dedicated to providing raptor rehabilitation, and release as well as providing education to the public. The educational presentations are designed to promote the value of raptors, wildlife, conservation, and environmental awareness, and to teach ways in which the public can become involved in these issues.

Why have a Raptor Program?

Raptors, or birds of prey, include eagles, hawks, falcons, owls, and harriers. These birds are important to us because they fill a critical role as predators in the ecosystem. Unfortunately, many injuries to wildlife are the result of human interaction. Indiscriminate shooting and trapping, collisions with vehicles or power lines, pesticide poisoning, and destruction of the habitat and nests are all causes of raptor injuries. It is up to us to make the difference for these birds.

How can I help the RMRP?

We depend on volunteers for donations of time and supplies, as well as, financial contributions.

Join our volunteer program.

We welcome whatever time and talent you have to offer: rehabilitators, educators, clerical, or carpenters. Our nationally recognized training program stresses safety when teaching techniques to care for these magnificent creatures.

Be a financial contributor.

Your contributions of money help us develop education programs, support medical and housing costs, and purchase supplies for daily operations.

Adopt-a-raptor.

You can help support the medical and housing costs of any bird of your choice.

Our main facility is located 720 B, East Vine Drive.
This is a hospital facility, so we are not open to the public except for our open houses.

We do have birds on public display at the
Environmental Learning Center from dawn to dusk.

Please check the events calendar for dates and times.
