Wildlife enthusiasts have a rare chance to be part of peregrine falcon conservation!
DWR and Triple Crossing have partnered up to raffle off an exclusive opportunity to join biologists on Banding Day, where you’ll get up close with the peregrine falcon chicks of the Richmond Falcon Cam as they receive identification bands.
Banding plays a crucial role in tracking migration, monitoring survival rates, and protecting peregrine falcon populations. This unique experience offers a behind-the-scenes look at conservation in action—an unforgettable moment for nature advocates and bird lovers alike!
In addition to banding, you’ll get to join Triple Crossing for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes experience as they brew one of their flagship beers.
