Experience the Majesty of Owls and Raptors

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon with the Mercer County Wildlife Center as they bring live owls and raptors to Washington Crossing State Park! This interactive presentation offers a rare opportunity to see these incredible birds up close while learning about their behaviors, habitats, and the conservation efforts that help protect them.

The Mercer County Wildlife Center is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of native wildlife. As human development expands along the East Coast, natural habitats continue to shrink, leading to increased human-wildlife encounters and a greater risk of injury to these animals. The Center provides critical medical care and temporary refuge for injured, ill, and displaced birds, mammals, and reptiles, ensuring they have the best chance to return to the wild.

Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to connect with these amazing birds!

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required as the space is limited.
