 IWRC Interview with Marge Gibson
When I moved back to my home area of Antigo, Wisconsin in l990, I developed the Raptor Education Group, Inc. We rehab many raptors here, including many Bald Eagles each year, but the focus has never been off educating the public about the birds and responsible conservation efforts on their behalf.
While my center is a raptor center, I actually do almost as many passerines, ducks and other things as I do raptors.
There, I began Raptor Education Group, Inc. As the name suggests, I really wanted to focus more on public education to try to prevent injuries as opposed to doing the actual rehabilitation.
