Eagle Valley Raptor Center
EVRC provides food, shelter and vet care for injured and orphaned birds of prey so that they may be released back to the wild. The center also provides homes for no-releaseable raptors so thye can become our educational feathered ambassadors.
Eagle Valley Raptor Center Inc. was formed in 2002. We purchased 20 acres of land near Cheney, Kansas and started construction in 2003. We formed a Board of Directors and applied for and received our 501.3(c) status as a nonprofit organization and we were on our way.
Since 1998 we have taken in on average over 100 birds a year due to injuries, poisoning or orphaned as babies. We felt the need to build a facility that not only would provide a place to care for these birds, but to offer an educational opportunity for schools, churches, scout groups, 4-H, seniors and other appropriate organizations to come and learn about these important species to our Kansas environment.
