Science, observation, and raptors—saving the wild, saving us.
RAPTOR Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that brings conservation science education and STEM learning to life through immersive, hands-on experiences for students and lifelong learners in classrooms, retirement communities, and community gathering spaces across Greater Cincinnati. Participants, young and old, leave a RAPTOR Inc. program with a clearer grasp of ecology, biology, and environmental stewardship, and a deeper, more personal connection to the natural world around them.
