Focus on the Future!

01/08/2026 by mconnally

Lisa Manion, Class of 2026

The Blackland Prairie Raptor Center (BPRC) is excited to incorporate “Birding 101” and binocular instruction into its youth education programs. To make this a success, they are seeking donations of gently used (but functional) binoculars from our community.

As birders, many of us upgrade our equipment over time. If Santa brought you a new pair for the holidays and your old ones are destined to gather dust, please consider donating them to help inspire the next generation of naturalists!

How to Donate: If you have a pair to contribute, please reach out to Marla Layne. Marla can arrange to receive them at an upcoming BPMN monthly meeting or coordinate a convenient hand-off.
