Join POST and Santa Clara County Parks for an educational experience like no other: Raptor Fest! This incredible event will highlight very important species of raptors who play an integral role in the health of our ecosystems!
This free educational event will feature presentations and a chance to visit local wildlife and conservation nonprofits or groups who work to protect vital species in the Bay Area. This is a unique opportunity to see and learn about birds of prey and the importance of conservation in our communities.
- Presentations will include Master Falconer Kenny Elvin of Full Circle Falconry. Kenny Elvin will be providing a 45-minute falconry presentation several times during the event. The presentation may involve a flight demonstration, depending on conditions.
- A representative of Santa Clara County Parks will open the falconry presentation by sharing their efforts to protect raptors throughout the park system.
- The event will also include tables from our partners at Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority, Santa Clara Valley Bird Alliance, Peninsula Human Society & SPCA, and San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory.
