June 19, 2025 - Cheryl Circo: Blackland Prairie Raptor Center (BPRC)

Bio:  I did not choose the bird life, the bird life chose me. I have been volunteering and working in animal care since I was 15 and wound up falling in love with birds of prey along the way. I love being able to showcase how special raptors are and why they are so important.

Here at Blackland Prairie Raptor Center I am able to use my knowledge and experience to help enhance the education department and grow my leadership skills with amazing coworkers by my side.

About the BPRC:  Named after the tallgrass prairie that once covered more than 23,500 acres, the Center’s mission is to promote and enhance populations of raptors through rehabilitation, conservation, and education initiatives since 2004.

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.

Program Description: An overview of BPRC, its mission and goals, along with opportunities for PPC members to get involved.
