American Eagle Foundation |
|
| |
The American Eagle Foundation (AEF) is a not-for-profit organization of concerned citizens and professionals founded in 1985 to develop and conduct bald eagle and environmental recovery programs in the United States and to assist private, state and federal projects that do the same. Their goal is to fully restore the bald eagle, the U.S.A.'s National Symbol, to America's lands and skies and to "Build A Nest-Egg" for their future care and protection. They are headquartered at the Dollywood entertainment park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
In addition to their commitment to conduct projects that ensure the restoration and protection of eagles in the wild, they are dedicated to caring for eagles that are injured and orphaned. At their Pigeon Forge eagle center, they are federally licensed care-givers to over 60 birds of prey daily. These birds are non-releasable due to permanent physical disabilities or accidental imprinting on humans. Many of the non-releasable eagles residing at their facility have successfully reproduced while in care. They operate the largest Bald Eagle breeding facility in the world, and have released dozens of captive-hatched eaglets into the Great Smoky Mountains area, Tennessee and other places. They have been a party to releasing hundreds of eaglets into the wild in cooperation with Federal and State agencies, and have also supported numerous eagle recovery and protection projects in various states.
In addition, their organization is deeply involved in environmental education. Since 1991, they have educated millions of people at the Dollywood entertainment park and at schools, conventions and events throughout the country. They have successfully performed more than 8,000 "free flight" birds of prey education programs since 1991 using non-releasable, permanently disabled trained birds of prey. |
