Environmental Learning Center Gift Shop Proceeds To Benefit Raptors
Thursday, June 4, 1998
FORT COLLINS--The gift shop at Colorado State University's
Environmental Learning Center will be open Wednesdays, Fridays
and weekends through September with all proceeds going to support
Colorado State's Raptor Program.
Hours for the shop, located on the center's grounds at Drake
Road and County Highway 9, will be 3-6 p.m. Wednesday and Friday
and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Volunteers from the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program will
operate the shop. The facility also includes interpretive
displays on historical and natural history aspects of the
Environmental Learning Center.
Merchandise includes T-shirts, jewelry, zoo books,
notecards, bookmarks and magnets. All proceeds support injured
birds of prey housed at the center and at the Raptor Program.
The Rocky Mountain Raptor Program, operated largely by
volunteers, takes in injured birds-of-prey and, with the services
of Colorado State's Veterinary Teaching Hospital, rehabilitates
and releases them to the wild. Non-releasable birds serve as role
models for fledglings and younger birds who can return to the
wild.
