Description
The Iowa Raptor project joins us for Hoover Hometown Days! The mission of the Iowa Raptor Project is to connect students and the community to the conservation of birds of prey and their natural habitats through research and education opportunities. IRP is a jointly sponsored program of the University of Iowa Recreational Services and Kirkwood Community College. They work to achieve their goal to preserve raptor populations and habitats through educational experiences that awaken awareness, nurture appreciation and inspire action, as well as through field research on raptor nesting habitats, migration routes, and wintering grounds. The Iowa Raptor Project currently displays 17 unreleasable birds of prey historically found in Iowa at their facility in Coraville. You can meet some of these residents here on August 7 in the Scellar's Barn across from the Schoolhouse! Please note that the birds may dictate ending the display earlier than scehduled.
