On Saturday, November 1, Lisa Thomison, co-founder of the Owl Ridge Raptor Center, and the Raptor Center staff will provide an introduction to the work of this federal- and state-licensed raptor rehabilitation center at the UT Arboretum Auditorium, 901 S. Illinois Avenue in Oak Ridge. The program, cosponsored by TCWP, the UT Arboretum Society, and The American Museum of Science and Energy, will run from 10 a.m. until noon.
Owl Ridge will bring some very special winged "ambassadors" for us to meet. The Owl Ridge Raptor center is a nonprofit organization that takes care of injured and orphaned birds of prey, including owls, hawks, falcons, vultures, and eagles. The goal with each bird is full recovery and re-release back into their native habitat whenever possible.
The program is free, but registration is required to confirm your seat. Please make sure to register for all members of your group so that seats will be available. Seating is limited to 100. We will have a donation box available to benefit the work at Owl Ridge Raptor Center.
