Why: The proceeds of this event open a door to the natural world for the youth in our community. This year’s Grand Opening of Raptor Woodland Refuge includes an opportunity for the public to view nearly two dozen live, non-releaseable birds of prey in a unique outdoor setting. Various species of raptors including owls, hawks, turkey vultures and more, inspire both adventure and learning. Your participation will ensure that the over 40,000 children who visit Fontenelle Forest each year will walk amidst the variety of distinctive tree-house like mews. Your contribution will provide continued community access, conservation of native animal species, public education, and school programming, not only for Raptor Woodland Refuge but for all offerings at Fontenelle Forest. Honorary Trustees: Gerry & Bruce Lauritzen, Sue & George Haddix, Marilyn Mammel and Ann Pape Attendance: 400 Amount Raised: $195,000
