About HAWKQUEST
HawkQuest is a Colorado-based nonprofit environmental education organization (501(c)(3)) founded in 1986 that delivers outreach programs using live raptors—eagles, hawks, falcons and owls—to classrooms, community events and special programs. The organization operates entirely as an outreach program (it does not maintain a public facility) and weaves conservation, biodiversity and extinction-prevention messages into participatory presentations.
In the last 2–3 years HawkQuest has continued large-scale outreach and partnerships with schools, libraries and community organizations, delivered photography and public flight events, and participated in regional fundraising campaigns and community awards (examples include a library partnership award in November 2024 and a public photography event in July 2024).
