Rally for the Raptors

Raptors in distress found by the general public are initially brought to Native Animal Rescue for immediate care and stabilization. Once stabilized they are transferred to Blue Apple Farms for long term rehabilitation and eventual release back into the wild. Our organization allows members of the general public to view raptors in an intimate setting which they aren’t able to achieve in nature. During their visit, guests are educated about the rehabilitation process, while engaging in hands-on educational activities which helps to foster a greater appreciation and encourages conservation efforts. All ages and demographics are welcome to book a visit to our facility. We host tours for individuals as well as retiree groups, women’s groups, scout troops, school groups, birding groups and members of the autistic community. We have also recently introduced “Bird Day” private events, which offer a unique, educational celebration experience.

We strive to have something for everyone who is interested in learning more about our local raptors and our shared habitat. We are committed to growing these programs in a sustainable way that expands both our rehabilitation capacity and our educational reach within the community.

Our website is being constructed and nearing completion. However, you can visit us on Instagram @blueapplefarms
