Adopt a Raptor

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