I spend a week every year in Jabez at a Forest Leadership Camp teaching
high school students what it is like to work in the environmental field.
Every year there are students from Somerset that work with the raptors,
they are extraordinary kids, and this would be a great resource to
Kentucky raptors!

Subject: [birdky] Chance to help local raptor rehabiliation center
Folks,
Southwestern Raptor Rehab in Somerset, KY is competing for a grant from
Pepsi for $250,000. To win, they need our online votes. This raptor
rehabilitation center, led by Frances Carter does a great job caring for
and releasing injured raptors in KY. This organization involves the
local high school kids in caring for raptors as an afterschool activity,
teaching them leadership, responsibility and raptor ecology. Just last
year they cared for and successfully released a young peregrine falcon
that had been hit by a car near Lake Cumberland (among many other
released raptors).
These folks do a great job and a great service for our KY raptors.
Please visit the link below to vote for their proposal before May 31.
