Organizations Filed Purposes:
Advancing raptor conservation through education, research, and rehabilitation.
EDUCATION: TETON RAPTOR CENTER'S education team provides purpose for thirteen non-releasable raptors through outreach in a variety of settings including schools, community events, and public venues such as lodges and parks. These educational and entertaining programs are designed for audiences of all ages with the intent to highlight the importance of raptors within an ecosystem, to explore ways in which our choices can help wildlife, and to share details about all of the work done by the 3 pillars of TRC (research, rehabilitation, and education.) In FY 2019-20, Teton Raptor Center's staff, with the help of our resident raptors and a team of incredibly dedicated volunteers, conducted 401 programs for 49,615 participants.
RESEARCH/CONSERVATION: TETON RAPTOR CENTER supports and leads on-the-ground conservation initiatives to protect birds of prey and their habitat. In FY 2019-20, TRC's studies include field research and conservation planning on 11 distinct projects across the Intermountain West and Great Plains, with active partnerships with 17 agencies and organizations. TRC's research team focuses on developing future ecologists and actively supported four graduate students this year. Our team also develops innovative research tools, including the SoundScout acoustic recorder. Teton Raptor Center's Port-O-Potty Owl Project, aimed at protecting cavity-nesting wildlife from entrapment in vault toilets, has reached all 50 states, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada. Since 2013, TRC has distributed 16,015 screens to 603 partner organizations and agencies.
REHABILITATION: All of TETON RAPTOR CENTER'S programming is largely dependent on the time and talent of volunteers, especially in the rehabilitation department. In FY 2019-20, TRC volunteers donated a total of 7,341 hours to support raptor conservation in the clinic, in the field, and in the classroom. Teton Raptor Center offers rescue, emergency medical treatment, and rehabilitative care to injured, ill, and orphaned birds of prey in an effort to return these birds to the wild. TRC is one of only three facilities in the state of Wyoming offering this scope of care for birds of prey. In FY 2019-20, TRC admitted 124 raptors representing 21 species from Idaho and Wyoming. During the same period, we reunited, fostered, and otherwise deflected numerous uninjured fledglings and chicks, by serving as an educational resource in the community. Car strikes, window strikes, and entanglement or entrapment issues were the leading causes for admission. Great Horned Owls were the most common species admitted. with Working our primary veterinarians and veterinary advisiers, TRC advanced treatments, protocols, and medical techniques that improved patient care.
