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.

Become a nature detective

A great way to create a deep and memorable understanding of nature's cycles is to pick places for observation. Find a few favorite spots on the Black Pond Woods Trail and visit once a month for a year. Bring a camera and notebook to document the constant activity and change. Take the same picture and compare how wonderfully different the same spot looks from the month before!
