Winter Weather

As species native to New Jersey, the birds in our care are naturally equipped with down coats to keep them warm in the coldest time of the year.

People, on the other hand, must bundle up! We welcome your winter visit to TRT, but recommend that you dress to keep warm while exploring our outdoor aviary trails. (If you get chilly, stop by the gift shop: we stock a variety of cozy knit hats, hoodies, and sweatshirts to keep you toasty!)

Inclement Weather Notice

If it has been snowing, sleeting, or raining, the trails may become dangerously icy. Check our social media for closure announcements.

Our Facilities

Our expansive complex consists of a Medical Infirmary, an Education Center, a Gift Shop, and over 70 exterior cages and aviaries. These structures provide over 130,000 cubic feet of space, designed to accommodate both recuperating birds awaiting release and the unreleasable individuals who call our facility home permanently.

Raptor Education

At The Raptor Trust, we believe in caring for wild birds, educating people, and promoting stewardship. Our mission is education and the sincere belief that an understanding of the role of every creature in nature helps create a better world for us all.
