ANTIGO RAPTOR CENTER

Antigo is the home of a Raptor Center which helps large birds who have been injured in the wild to recover. Marge Gibson, the director of this operation, has instituted an education program that teaches groups about these magnificent birds. Some of the libraries in the Central Wisconsin area have engaged the Raptor Education Group to put on programs at their libraries as part of their summer activities. These have been very successful. Adding the Raptor Center program to your own library's 2007 offerings to your patrons would be a great idea, and the sessions provide some income to help the Center remain in operation.

The Wausau Daily Herald recently ran a multimedia clip on the center. You can access it at: http://wausaudailyherald.com/includes/newspaper/assets/birds/
