Eagle Valley Raptor Center

Eagle Valley Raptor Center was started in 2003 to promote conservation of birds of prey through public education, and provide shelter and care to injured & orphaned raptors. Raptors are birds of prey such as hawks, falcons, owls, vultures, eagles, ospreys, condors and kites.

The Center and living quarters occupy 10 acres and there are an additional 10 acres of tall grass prairie with a nature trail & small wetlands area. The Eagle Valley Raptor Center is two miles north of US Highway 54, just west of Garden Plain, Kansas. Eagle Valley is a 501.3(c) charity. On average over 100 birds a year receive care for injuries, poisoning or orphaned as babies. Whenever possible, the birds are returned to the wild.

Admission to the center is by appointment for individuals, families, and groups such as schools, scouts, churches or seniors. A visit includes a one hour tour. A $5 donation is suggested.

There is a picnic and teaching pavilion, and catering is available with advance scheduling. The Eagle Valley Raptor Center also offers off site bird of prey programs and a variety of educator resources to prepare for classroom visits.
