Classroom Wildlife Presentations

The Southwest Wildlife Foundation provides highly educational and entertaining birds of prey programs and field excursions.

Since the age of 12, with a bird on his arm, Martin Tyner has been educating and advocating for wildlife critters. Founder of the Southwest Wildlife Foundation,he is a federally licensed wildlife rehabilitator, educator, propagator, and master falconer with over 50 years of experience.

Martin and our three Wildlife Ambassadors, Helen the Peregrine Falcon, Belle the Harris Hawk and Scout the Golden Eagle travel throughout the Southwest for live in person Wildlife Educational Presentations.

They are also available via livestream for personal events throughout the world.

Each presentation is unique, catered to the size, age, interests or questions of each group. Drawing from a lifetime working with critters, Martin shares stories from his personal experiences.
