Rehabbing Raptors Responsibly in Quechee, Vermont

VINS is tucked into a woodland setting providing a quiet, thoughtful environment in which to view recovering raptors. These birds have come here injured—hit by a car, snagged by a dog or cat, or shot by a hunter. The injured bird is nursed back to health with the primary purpose of returning to the wild.You can choose to watch the feeding and bandaging of wounds and fractures or simply take a walk on their wooded paths and enjoy the sounds nature calling for the return of these birds. The raptors are enclosed in state-of-the art healing grounds that allow you to witness their majesty without threatening their recovery. In fact, they actually seem to enjoy your visit.
