Just as biodiversity creates stronger ecosystems, a diversity of human perspectives makes our work more effective and informed. Cascades Raptor Center is committed to the safety and wellbeing of our marginalized visitors, staff, volunteers, and board members. We do not tolerate behavior that threatens, demeans, or excludes them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Our policy is that raptors are for everyone, and that everyone should have equal access to the benefits of connecting with nature. We acknowledge that communities of color in particular have been and continue to be systematically excluded from many outdoor spaces and pursuits in the U.S. We aim to help these and other underinvested groups connect with wildlife through community outreach, partnerships with other organizations, affinity events, and the cultivation of an accessible, welcoming environment at our facility.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element vc_custom_1691614302206\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #67823a;\">Land Acknowledgement<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Our facility is located on the traditional homelands of the indigenous Kalapuya people, an ethnic, linguistic, and cultural group historically consisting of many different tribes.
