Join Skegemog Raptor Center, in partnership with the Traverse Area District Library, for an engaging program exploring how hunters and outdoor stewards can help keep Michigan’s eagles healthy for the future.

This presentation will feature real-life case studies from our rehabilitation work, showing how lead exposure affects eagles. You’ll also learn about practical, effective ways hunters can help safeguard wildlife health while preserving a valued outdoor tradition.

As a special highlight, our education ambassador Bald Eagle, Ishkode, will make a live appearance, offering an up-close look at the beauty and resilience of these remarkable birds.

Together, we can ensure a strong future for both hunting heritage and the eagles that soar over our shared skies
