Each day, volunteers stroll the Montana WILD grounds with our raptor ambassadors: hawks, owls, eagles, and falcons. These walks provide valuable enrichment for the birds and offer visitors a unique chance to meet them up close and learn about these incredible species.

The new Avian Walkway is open from 9-4:30, daily. You can stop by and visit Montana Wild's ambassador birds as they get some time in their outside enclosures. The raptors can choose to perch in or outside based on their needs. 

All month long we will have crafts and educational activities set up in our classroom. Stop by any time Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
