About the American School of Falconry
Established in 2014, the American School of Falconry started out with the mission of educating kids of all ages on the sport of falconry and the importance of raptor conservation. One of the most important parts of our mission is the support that we provide to our brethren in the Raptor Rehabilitation community. We are proud of our long history of supporting those organizations dedicated to keeping our wild raptors in the wild.A
