Protect. Preserve. Promote.

At February’s conference of the International Association for Avian Trainers and Educators (IAATE), Park Manager Steve Ward’s presentation “Visitors with specific needs: Developing interpretive programming standards with raptor ambassadors for everyone by leveraging public-private partnerships” won Radnor Lake the High Flyer Award for best presentation, selected by conference attendees. 

We congratulate and thank all those who made this possible, including the  park staff who organized and conducted interpretive programming, and those who have participated and have supported aviary sustainability at Radnor. The lessons learned from nearly 10 years of avian programming were much appreciated by this international group of educators focused on wellbeing for birds in human care and programs that inspire conservation action.

Thanks to the Friends of Radnor Lake Board and the Barbara J. Mapp Foundation for committing to building and growing the aviary program at Radnor Lake.
