Supporting Cascades Raptor Center
Cascades Raptor Center’s Mission
Cascades Raptor Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit nature center and wildlife hospital founded in 1987. It was incorporated in 1990 and moved to its current location on Spencer’s Butte in southwest Eugene in 1994.
Their mission is to foster connections between humans and birds of prey through:
Wildlife Rehabilitation
Their wildlife hospital treats 400-700 patients every year, and is currently the only raptor-specific wildlife clinic in Oregon.
Public Education
Each year, over 30,000 people visit their nature center, which is open year round and features nearly 40 resident education birds – one of the largest native North American raptor collections in the Pacific Northwest.
