Raptors Part of RespectFEST

The Raptors will be returning to the Allan Brooks Nature Centre for four more days this month.

Thousands of people took in the programs over the summer featuring six different birds of prey.

As part of RespectFEST 2017, flight demonstrations will be held daily at 11:30 and encounter courses will be held Sept 21-23 at 2 pm & 4 pm daily

Federal funding allows the Centre to offer the flight demos free, but you have to register through the RespectFEST 2017 website.

“One of the main themes of RespectFEST is ‘Respect our land and environment’, what better way to express that theme than with these amazing birds?” says Vicki Proulx, Events and Communications Coordinator at Allan Brooks Nature Centre.

“It’s not only incredible to see these birds fly so close to you, and to hold them, but the Raptors organization and Allan Brooks are really about education. We want people to learn about these amazing creatures and grow an appreciation for nature in the Okanagan.”

Encounter Courses are also available to purchase for those wanting to get up closer to the birds.

Tickets are available for all events at www.abnc.ca.
