Save the date for Owl-o-Ween!
Our annual Owl-o-Ween fundraiser is coming soon! Mark your calendars for Saturday, Oct. 25 for an afternoon of fall family fun! This is your chance to come visit the Black Hills Raptor Center. Bring your family, wear your Halloween costumes, and come hang out with the raptors and take part in fall activities.
Right now, we have spots available for each time slot, but the 4:00 p.m. is filling fast!
Adopt A Raptor for Christmas!
Symbolically adopt one of our six ambassador birds between now and November 7th, 2025, and get the opportunity to have a professional photo taken with your family, your chosen bird, and Santa!
These symbolic adoptions make an excellent gift for family and friends. Who wouldn’t want a raptor under their tree? The digital photo you receive will be great for holiday cards, keepsakes, or family sharing.
Once an adoption is made, a volunteer will reach out to schedule a time for you to come to the Black Hills Raptor Center where you can take your photo with Santa and your adopted bird. There will be a number of slots available on November 1st and 8th. Cookies and hot cocoa will be available while you visit.
Our mission is to conserve and protect native birds of prey and their natural habitats through education, rehabilitation, and research.
