We offer workshops on various wildlife topics once a month at the Holtsville Ecology Park, and basic rehabber skills class each spring. Call or email for a schedule and information. We keep a list of local rehabbers and their area of expertise, and operate a hotline where the public can get advice and referrals. We encourage all rehabbers to contact us with their information. This seems to work better than having people call a dozen numbers of people who do not handle that type of animal, or who are full to capacity or on vacation.

We provide housing for a large range of birds, however, we specialize in all birds of prey.
Our goal is to help these animals with as little western medicine as possible, depending on the
injury, homeopathy is our first choice with remarkable success.Skills: We can provide educational programs to schools, camps, clubs and adult audiences. Our most interesting programs are the birds of prey as they are the barometers of our immediate ecology. Wildlife preservation and habitats are a large part of our talks. The food chain including pesticide awareness and pollution, recycling and the whole earth principal with respect to nature is our message. Ravensbeard also has a black bear educator who has studied with Dr. Lynn Rogers of Minnesota.
Comment: We would love to link up with like nature centers, rehabilitation centers, raptor centers, Audubon centers, Cornell Ornothology interested links and other nature conservancies. Anywhere we can enlight interested and concerned individuals.
