Following a productive meeting with our friends at the Hawk Conservancy, we are excited to announce our new fund-raising project! Haven Falconry plan to raise £3000 to fund 10 vital Poison Response Kits for the International Vulture Programme in Africa.
During 2016 we will be organising events and donation boxes to enable us to reach our target. You can of course donate directly to the IVP if you prefer to do this.
