We promote environmental literacy using non-releasable raptors in unique interactive programs. Since 1980 we've been bringing knowledge, experience and creativity to all of our work. Although environmental education is our core mission, we also provide environmental consulting to assist with wildlife matters, EIS surveys, and public relations to connect your company's brand with a real "green" organization. Our live raptors will create an impact that your clients and audiences won't soon forget. In 1999 REF created the first environmentally-themed license plate program for the State of Colorado. The "Colorado Respects Wildlife" plate features a bald eagle and is available exclusively to REF's members with a car registered in Colorado. Thousands spread the message of respect for wildlife as they drive their vehicles around our state and country, while supporting our educational mission at the same time.
