Carolina Raptor Center

Saving Birds of Prey

Description

This center is devoted to the preservation and rehabilitation of birds of prey and their habitats. It focuses on education and puts on wonderful programs for schools (the programs reach over 40,000 children each year!) and other groups about the birds, as well as advises other similar centers and zoos about the rehabilitation and care of raptors. Visitors can walk along the 3/4-mile nature trail here and see over 22 different species of birds who make the Latta Plantation Nature Preserve their home. Call ahead to find out what events are going on at the Center before you visit, as they regularly have activities going on, such as their Backyard Tails flight program where audience members can feel the birds woosh by their heads as they fly through the air.
