Carolina Raptor Center
What We Do
The Carolina Raptor Center is a nonprofit dedicated to igniting a passion for raptors and our shared natural world.
Its Raptor Hospital has treated more than 26,000 birds of prey over the last four decades.
On its zoological Raptor Trail, visitors can connect with bird species from across the globe, gaining an appreciation for the role raptors play in the environment.
Since its founding in 1981, the Carolina Raptor Center has worked to foster communities where raptors and people thrive thanks to a unique blend of innovation, research, and education.
