Raptor Fest: Gems in the Grasslands
Join fellow wildlife enthusiasts to discover the fascinating world of the raptors that rely on our local grasslands. We will take a deep dive into their remarkable adaptations, the challenges they face, and the irreplaceable habitat that will vanish — and along with it the birds — if we don’t protect it.
