Raptor Behind-the-Scenes Workshop
In this popular experience, participants will spend a day at our private Raptor Facility. Lindsay Focht, Raptor & Animal Ambassador Director, will introduce you to each raptor ambassador while we discuss the daily management of the birds, build enrichment for them, and learn what it takes to care for these magnificent animals. You will have the exhilarating experience of closely interacting with our star birds. Come prepared to get dirty and be amazed!
Lindsay Focht graduated in 2008 from the University of Wisconsin – Madison with a degree in Natural Sciences, majoring in Wildlife Ecology. For 4 years, she trained birds for free flight shows at various zoos and venues across the country. Lindsay specializes in avian training, captive wildlife management, and environmental education. She has been with the Center for 14 years and is passionate about creating memorable experiences for the public and sparking excitement and care for the natural world.
For this program, wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty and close-toed shoes. Bring your own bag lunch and the Center will provide beverages.
This program will take place outdoors. In the case of inclement weather, a portion of the program will be indoors.
