Now entering its 27th year, Green Chimneys Birds Of Prey Day will take place on the their Brewster Campus located at 400 Doansburg Road, Brewster, NY on June 2nd. The program will start at 10:00 am and run until 4:30 pm.
Green Chimney’s renowned Farm & Wildlife Center is home to nearly 200 animals, including 50 birds of prey. An Andean condor; Griffon vulture; numerous hawks, falcons, owls and several crows are under the care of expert wildlife staff. Spring always brings large numbers of fledgling birds that need care, and the goal is to return them to the wild as soon as possible.
The students of the Green Chimneys School have some special needs of their own and through the rehabilitation and care of these animals, they learn compassion, encouragement, and the true meaning of stewardship.
The day will feature numerous vendors, food trucks and of course, exhibition of hundreds of Birds of Prey throughout the day.
