Raptor Education Foundation

udiences won't soon forget. In 1999 REF created the first environmentally-themed license plate program for the State of Colorado. The "Colorado Respects Wildlife" plate features a bald eagle and is available exclusively to REF's members with a car registered in Colorado. Thousands spread the message of respect for wildlife as they drive their vehicles around our state and country, while supporting our educational mission at the same time. Join us and spread respect for wildlife! We are the only raptor education organization endorsed by Roger Tory Peterson. Our book, The Raptors of North America, features all of North America's raptor species and the newest edition is the best. It has been in print for 41 years and includes a foreword by Roger Tory Peterson. This is the best book to introduce anyone to America's raptor species, especially children.
