Featured Events

Any Time: Raptor Center Visits to Your School

The Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota can provide environmental education programs free of charge for qualifying schools all over Minnesota, thanks to funding from the Minnesota Environmental & Natural Resources Trust Fund. If your school has at least 50% of its student population receiving free/reduced lunches, it’s eligible for the free programming. Program naturalists will travel and deliver 30-to-60-minute presentations, featuring live raptors that can be curated for K-12 students. Contact Outreach Coordinator, Max Borge,  at Borge368@umn.edu.
