Mission
Conservation. Preservation. Education.
The best falconry experiences are personal, disciplined, and rooted in respect. Our programs introduce guests to raptors while explaining the history of falconry, the responsibilities of care, and the importance of healthy habitats.
Whether the audience is a family, classroom, team, or group of photographers, the goal is the same: create a close encounter that deepens curiosity instead of turning wildlife into a prop.
From the Beginning
Built to Bring Falconry Closer
When Ohio School of Falconry opened, the idea was simple and ambitious: create a place where the public could meet trained raptors responsibly, learn what falconry really is, and leave with a deeper respect for birds of prey.
The Columbus Dispatch covered the school in its early days, capturing the roots of a program that has grown into public experiences, school programs, private events, and conservation-centered community education.
