The Black Hills Raptor Center supports care and conservation of native wildlife and habitat in South Dakota through education, rehabilitation, and scientific research.

At present, we focus on species native to our beautiful state of South Dakota. All of the education birds at the Black Hills Raptor Center are permanently injured. For some, the injury is physical, and for others, the injury is mental.

Our US Fish & Wildlife Service permit requires that our avian ambassadors be non-releasable. During programs, guests discover the adaptations of raptors, find out how the predator/prey balance is kept strong, and learn about the important role raptors have in helping humans survive.

By supporting our cause, you directly help with buying supplies, transporting injured birds to our network of licensed rehab specialists, and building our BRAND NEW state-of-the-art raptor rehabilitation and education facility. We need a new home, and we need your help. The birds need your help.

Will you help us support the first and only specialized raptor facility in western South Dakota?
