Discover the soaring world of raptors through an engaging virtual presentation by Chintimini Wildlife Center. Perfect for classrooms and nature lovers alike, this interactive experience brings wildlife education home.
Chintimini Wildlife Center in Corvallis, Oregon operates as an educational nonprofit wildlife facility focused on raptor care, conservation, and public education. The center maintains eight permanent birds of prey that serve as Raptor Ambassadors and hosts Animal Ambassadors for guided encounters. Chintimini offers a variety of structured experiences for families, schools, and community groups, including 45-minute outdoor Public Raptor Tours and Large Group Tours, 1.5-hour small-group field trips, classroom-sized field trips for 30–60 students, private ambassador tours, and a 45-minute Virtual Formal Raptor Presentation.
Programs combine guided tours, live presentations, and raptor biofacts to teach avian biology, habitat needs, and conservation principles. Staff and volunteers lead presentations and tours on site, adapting content for student groups and seasonal conditions. Most programs occur outdoors; visitors should prepare for variable weather and terrain. The center accommodates multiple classes for larger school visits and provides tailored presentation options to meet educational objectives. Chintimini supports classroom learning with interactive demonstrations and opportunities to observe raptor behavior from a safe distance; live animal interactions are facilitated by trained handlers and follow established animal welfare protocols. The center’s offerings are suitable for educators seeking curriculum-aligned experiences, families looking for wildlife-focused outings, and remote learners participating in virtual presentations. Visitors can photograph ambassadors from designated viewing areas, and staff emphasize safety, species-specific care, and conservation messaging during every program. Scheduling and accessibility details are available online now.
