Join us Sunday, August 3 at 11 a.m. for an unforgettable experience at the beautiful Tallgrass Prairies, 3129 N County Rd, Milton. We’ll be releasing two juvenile bald eagles; Maverick, rescued near Edgerton, and Kaboom, from Poynette, both now strong, flying well, and ready to return to the skies.
This free public event includes a short presentation about the eagles and bald eagle conservation, appropriate for all ages. The event takes place on private property, generously hosted by Meg and Peter Layton. Please consider a donation to support our work as Hoo's Woods receives no state or federal funding. Bring your friends, family, and camera, but please leave the dog at home. The prairie is in full bloom and offers a breathtaking setting for this special moment.
Weather dependent, check Facebook for updates.
