Our excellent slides have been donated from wildlife photographers and raptor biologists throughout the area. We discuss our efforts to care for more than 160 birds of prey a year, and give children the ideas and motivation to make a difference in their world. We take pride in our ability to tailor our presentations to the interest and needs of the students and teachers. Each presentation is geared according to a group's age, background, interests, and attention span, and stresses interaction with students. Throughout all of our programs we stress the interconnection of all life forms and the responsibility of human beings to properly manage natural resources.
Teachers can integrate the many facets of raptor biology within their curriculum.
Raptors can stimulate interest in other disciplines as well, whether it is through a discussion of the mathematics of rodents consumed by the common falcon, the American kestral, or expressing the beauty of flight through a variety of artistic or written media. The RMRP has an outstanding reputation in environmental education. In 1997 we reached almost 10,000 school children at more than 55 schools in Colorado and Wyoming. We also are involved in the Colorado Division of Wildlife's Project Wild and Watchable Wildlife Programs. Fees are based on the size and nature of the audience and distance we need to travel.
