Teton Raptor Center founded the Raptor Rescue Network in 2015 along with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) in order to coordinate the efforts of rehab centers, Wyoming Game and Fish Department, veterinarians, and volunteers to ensure that every injured raptor has access to rehabilitation.
With only four centers currently serving Wyoming’s raptors, injured birds sometimes need to travel hundreds of miles to get the care they need. Fortunately, over 100 Raptor Rescuers have volunteered to provide transportation, and more are joining the team every week. In 2021, RRN volunteers drove or flew 42 injured raptors 9,583 miles and donated over 165 hours of their personal time!
