This past Father’s Day, we asked for support to help the team at our Falcon Batchelor Bird of Prey Center care for orphaned baby Eastern screech owls. Though these little owlets came in helpless, our staff is able to hand-feed them and train them to live in the wild. With the help of our excellent facility and staff, they’re doing really well!
We are extremely grateful for the support of donors who made gifts in honor of their own fathers in order to save these orphaned owls. It’s because of these donors that we have plans to release more than 15 Eastern screech owls back into the wild this summer.

Please contribute. The work you help us with today lays the groundwork for our new bigger and better Batchelor Environmental Center, which will open next year.
As a bonus, all donations received are matched, dollar-for-dollar up to $500,000, by our longtime supporters, The Batchelor Foundation, via a challenge grant.
