    2024​

  • Duke Energy offered us a spot at their Hines energy plant.​

    2025​

  • after 3 major storms Duke reorganized and could no longer commit to help build the center.

  • The mission of the Raptor Center of Tampa Bay continues to evolve.

There is so much work to do. We are thankful for the time and resources that our board, members, volunteers and donors contribute to The Raptor Center of Tampa Bay.  We hope that you will join us in our future endeavors to advance the work to Save the Planet.
