Established in 1970, The Peregrine Fund works nationally and internationally, to conserve birds of prey in nature. We conserve nature by achieving results--results restoring species in jeopardy, conserving habitat, educating students, training conservationists, providing factual information to the public, and by accomplishing good science. We succeed through cooperation and hard-work, using common sense, being hands-on and non-political, and by emphasizing solutions.

Description:
The World Center for Birds of Prey is the headquarters of The Peregrine Fund. Established in 1984, the World Center houses more than one hundred birds of prey, the young from which are released to the wild in the United States and internationally. The World Center is also home for our public education program, the Archives of American Falconry, and headquarters for many national and international projects and programs. The Velma Morrison Interpretive Center is The Peregrine Fund's principle interface with the public. Its staff of dedicated volunteers provide visitors with the opportunity to learn about the biology, ecology, and conservation of birds of prey. Volunteers are key to the success of the visitor center. Without their hard work, we simply could not operate.
