The Leslie Science & Nature Center's Adopt-A-Raptor Program gives you an opportunity to provide direct support to our raptors. Our education birds are non-releasable and will need permanent care. Your adoption ensures that these birds continue to inspire and educate our visitors.

Your adoption gifts are put to work immediately:

• Feeding and caring for birds

• Providing medical treatment when needed

• Conducting training of birds and staff

• Defraying costs of educational programs for schools that cannot afford presentation costs

• Inspiring more than 30,000 visitors through educational programs

We have three adoption levels:

• Gold: $240 ($10 per month) - Two year adoption

• Silver: $120 ($10 per month) - One year adoption

• Bronze: $50 Reserved for school and youth groups

• Teacher's Present- $25 In honor of a teacher only
  
  All donations are tax-deductible.

How it works:

When you adopt a raptor yourself, you receive:

• A thank you letter that explains the significance of your gift
• A color photograph of the bird you adopted
• A biography of the bird you adopted
• A fact sheet about the species of the bird you adopted.
• A certificate that recognizes your adoption
• An adopt-a-raptor bumper sticker.

When you adopt a raptor for someone else, they receive all of the above, and you receive our warmest thanks, and a receipt for your tax-deductible donation.
