The World Center for Birds of Prey launched the public phase of a $3.2 million capital campaign to expand educational opportunities and exhibits at its interpretive center.
The campaign, called HATCHED, raised 84 percent of the funding needed for the project to break ground this summer.
The center saw a 48% growth over a four-year period, as well as a need to reinvest in aging infrastructure according to a release.
Nearly a million guests and around 500,000 children visited the Center since it opened.
The expansion will include a Global Raptor Education Center, Falcon and Hawk exhibits, a courtyard and an outdoor classroom.
There will also be new parking facilities and more restrooms.
