Our Goals

• To rehabilitate and release birds of prey back into the wild
  
  
• To educate the public about raptors and their importance in our environment
  
  
• To gain more information about raptors
  
  

The Raptor Rehabilitation Project is a service and education organization of the University of Missouri-College of Veterinary Medicine in Columbia, Missouri. We are supported in part by the Missouri Department of Conservation.

Veterinary students, community members and other University of Missouri students volunteer their time and effort in rehabilitating injured raptors and caring for resident birds. Volunteers also help raise public awareness by giving presentations throughout central Missouri. We bring with education birds on these presentations to teach people about the ecological and cultural importance of birds of prey.
