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.
Conservation & Restoration
The Blackland Prairie Raptor Center is committed to restoring our 66-acre campus back to Blackland Prairie in an effort to support local and migratory raptors and all other wildlife.
Raptor Rehabilitation
The BPRC is the only facility in North Texas dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of sick and injured birds of prey.
Education & Training
Through education initiatives, our Center is creating tomorrow’s ambassadors by inspiring people of all ages and walks of life to connect with and advocate for the natural world.
