We want to publicly express our gratitude to New Hope Bird Alliance for their amazing continued sponsorship of our organization. For the second year in a row, they have given us an incredibly generous gift that will make a huge difference in our ability to operate and educate the public on birds of prey.

We’re really looking forward to presenting to them at their April meeting! If you haven’t checked out NHBA, please do- they’re doing amazing work in the Triangle and beyond.

Thank you NHBA!!

Are you a university student in the Chapel Hill, Carrboro, or Durham area? We're currently accepting new applications from students interested in volunteering with us!

Raptor Insights offers volunteering opportunities to undergraduate students as a way to encourage them to pursue careers in environmental education, conservation, and public outreach. Many of our student volunteers go on to pursue Masters' or Doctorate degrees in Biology, Conservation, and Ecology, or now work in the conservation and natural resources fields.
