Raptor View Research Institute

Raptor View Research Institute (RVRI), a non-profit research and education organization founded in 2004, is one of the leading raptor organizations in the West. From the Golden Eagle research conducted each fall along the Rocky Mountain Front, to the Osprey and Swainson’s Hawk research projects, RVRI staff is in the field nearly year-round, drawing international attention from researchers, conservationists, and educators. Most research projects are multi-faceted, long-term studies that specifically address human-caused impacts on raptors and the environment. We also offer free, hands on outdoor educational workshops for local school groups, youth homes, college students, community organizations, and the general public.
