TETON RAPTOR CENTER

ROGER SMITH AND MARGARET CREEL, WILSON, WYOMING

Mission:  "Helping birds of prey through veterinary care, education, conservation
and human/wildlife conflict resolution."

Teton Raptor Center was established by Roger Smith and Margaret Creel in 1997. In 2009, they admitted 35 birds to their facility, four were released and one transferred.  Their educational programs reached 5,000 people via classroom visits, on-site tours, and community programs. The Center has been supported largely through the donation of time by Roger and Margaret, and by limited contributions.

Both the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the State of Wyoming have issued permits for the Center to provide raptor rehabilitation and educational programs. The Center currently has four “educational” birds, which it uses for its outreach programs: a Great Horned Owl, a Red-Tailed Hawk, a Peregrine Falcon, and a Golden Eagle.
