Xcel Energy Volunteers Help at TRC

The Raptor Center celebrates the commitment and passion that volunteers demonstrate every day.  We were very proud that Xcel Energy chose TRC as one of 14 organizations that benefitted from its Minnesota Day of Caring. On Sept. 22, during TRC's annual Fall Raptor Release, Xcel volunteers spent the morning at TRC laying down pea gravel in TRC's housing mews for our education birds.

The volunteers did an incredible service for us.  The pea gravel that is used in our education bird housing is very important for sanitation, ease of cleaning, and raptor foot health.  The gravel needs to be replaced periodically, so this work was appreciated by our birds as well as our human staff.  Thank you, Xcel!  Your commitment to what you believe in is demonstrated yet again!
