The Raptor TrustThe Raptor Trust is one of the premier wild bird rehabilitation centers in the United States. Located in central New Jersey, the Trust includes a hospital with state-of-the-art medical facilities, quality exterior housing for several hundred birds, and an education building. A stalwart advocate for birds of prey for three decades, it is now recognized as a national leader in the fields of raptor conservation and avian rehabilitation.
The Raptor Trust is open to the public seven days a week during daylight hours. Visitors are afforded a unique opportunity to view at close range the many hawks, eagles, falcons and owls that are permanent residents at the facility. There is no charge to visit, but a modest donation of $2.00 per person is encouraged.
In 2008, The Raptor Trust reached an important milestone: we celebrated our 25th Anniversary as a successful nonprofit organization. We hope you’ll enjoy learning more about our history and our ongoing commitment to caring for wild birds in this 25th Anniversary Video.
