The Raptor Trust
break at noon for lunch

The Raptor Trust is the leading wild bird rehabilitation facility east of the Mississippi River and one of the premier privately funded centers of its type in the country. Caring for thousands of injured and orphaned raptors and other wild birds each year, they release recovered birds to areas in which they will thrive. Wooster Scots will be painting, cleaning unoccupied cages, doing carpentry and yard work. Alumni who cannot commit to the entire time are encouraged to participate for as much time as possible. The age minimum is set at 18; however, children are welcome to visit the facility after the work project. Please bring a brown bag lunch for a noon picnic. In case the project is rained out, we will meet at the home of Carol Allison for a pizza party.
