Experience Texas Wildlife At Blackland Prairie Raptor Center

Named after the tallgrass prairie that once covered more than 23,500 square miles of Texas from the Red River to San Antonio, Blackland Prairie Raptor Center’s mission is to promote and enhance populations of raptors through rehabilitation, conservation, and education initiatives.

Located in Lucas, Texas, on the outskirts of the DFW Metroplex, BPRC offers visitors of all ages an opportunity to experience the beauty of North Texas raptors through our educational events and fun activities the whole family will enjoy! We are also a full-service raptor rehabilitation hospital.
