| PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | HAWK MOUNTAIN SANCTUARY ASSOCIATION PROGRAMS AND SERVICES BACKGROUND HAWK MOUNTAIN SANCTUARY WAS FOUNDED IN 1934 BY PIONEER CONSERVATIONIST ROSALIE EDGE AS THE WORLD'S FIRST REFUGE FOR BIRDS OF PREY. THE SANCTUARY'S FOUNDING WAS A TURNING POINT IN REVERSING THEIR WIDESPREAD PERSECUTION. TODAY THE ASSOCIATION, INCORPORATED IN 1938, CONTINUES ITS PIONEERING WORK TO PROTECT BIRDS OF PREY THROUGH EDUCATION AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, AND SCIENCE-BASED CONSERVATION PROGRAMS, INCLUDING MONITORING OF RAPTOR AND OTHER MIGRANT POPULATIONS, CONDUCTING SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, AND THROUGH INFORMATION SHARING AND PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL CONSERVATION TRAINING. SEVEN BIOLOGISTS AND EDUCATORS SERVE ON ITS PROGRAM STAFF, INCLUDING THREE PH.D.-LEVEL SCIENTISTS. IN THE LAST DECADE, THE SANCTUARY HAS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF GLOBALLY IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC EFFORTS TO MONITOR RAPTOR POPULATIONS AND TO STUDY THE DYNAMICS OF RAPTOR MIGRATION AND ECOLOGY. ITS ACOPIAN CENTER FOR CONSERVATION LEARNING SERVES AS A HUB FOR GLOBAL RAPTOR INFORMATION, TRAINING AND STUDIES. PROGRAMS AREAS NATURE DISCOVERY WILDLIFE WATCHING, HIKING, ECO-TOURISM HAWK MOUNTAIN SANCTUARY IS A WORLD-CLASS OBSERVATION SITE FOR BIRDS OF PREY AND IS A FEDERALLY-DESIGNATED NATIONAL NATURAL LANDMARK. THE ANNUAL AUTUMN SPECTACLE OF THOUSANDS OF WILD HAWKS, EAGLES AND FALCONS IN FLIGHT, COMBINED WITH ITS SCENIC MOUNTAIN VIEWS, APPEAL TO A WIDE AUDIENCE. EACH YEAR HAWK MOUNTAIN HOSTS AN AVERAGE 70,000 VISITORS. FREE NATURE INTERPRETATION IS PRACTICED AT ITS LOOKOUTS DURING SPRING AND FALL MIGRATION. THE SANCTUARY VISITOR CENTER, WHICH IS OPEN DAILY AND FREE TO THE PUBLIC, HOUSES A MUSEUM ON BIRDS OF PREY AND NATURE BOOKSTORE. A "WINGS OF WONDER" GALLERY FEATURES 19 HAND-CARVED AND PAINTED, LIFE-SIZE MODELS OF RAPTORS IN FLIGHT. TRAILS ARE OPEN DAWN TO DUSK YEAR-ROUND. HAWK MOUNTAIN IS COMMITTED TO INCREASING ACCESSIBILITY FOR ALL AND OFFERS AT NO EXTRA CHARGE AN ALL-TERRAIN WHEELCHAIR FOR VISITOR USE.

CONSERVATION SCIENCE LOCAL TO INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH, INFORMATION EXCHANGE AND MENTORING, PROFESSIONAL TRAINING AND SCIENTIFIC STUDY, ANALYSIS AND PUBLICATION. THE FOUR-MEMBER CONSERVATION SCIENCE TEAM AT HAWK MOUNTAIN (INCLUDING THREE PH.D.-LEVEL SCIENTISTS) IS LED BY A GLOBAL AUTHORITY ON BIRDS OF PREY, DR. KEITH BILDSTEIN, THE SARKIS ACOPIAN DIRECTOR OF CONSERVATION SCIENCE AND AUTHOR OF MIGRATING RAPTORS OF THE WORLD: THEIR ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION (PUBLISHED 2006).

IN ADDITION, MORE THAN 40 HAWK MOUNTAIN RESEARCH ASSOCIATES NOW INCLUDE SCIENTISTS FROM CORNELL AND PRINCETON UNIVERSITIES, AS WELL AS SCIENTISTS FROM ELSEWHERE IN NORTH AMERICA, SOUTH AMERICA, EUROPE, AFRICA AND ASIA. SINCE 1935, HAWK MOUNTAIN'S RESEARCH STAFF AND ITS COLLABORATORS HAVE CONTRIBUTED MORE THAN 240 TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS, REVIEWS, THESES AND DISSERTATIONS TO THE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE. THE SANCTUARY IS A LEAD PARTNER IN THE RAPTOR POPULATION INDEX (RPI) PROJECT, WORKING WITH HAWKWATCH INTERNATIONAL, BIRDLIFE CANADA AND THE HAWK MIGRATION ASSOCIATION OF NORTH AMERICA (HMANA) TO ASSESS THE CONSERVATION STATUS OF NORTH AMERICAN RAPTORS. THE RPI GOAL IS TO MONITOR RAPTOR POPULATIONS ON A CONTINENTAL BASIS, BASED ON MIGRATION COUNTS AND OTHER DATA. HAWK MOUNTAIN OFFERS ITS EXPERTISE AT NO CHARGE AND CONDUCTS DATA ANALYSIS FOR THE PROJECT, THUS PROVIDING A LARGE SNAPSHOT ON THE STATUS OF RAPTORS ACROSS THE CONTINENT. CONSERVATION TRAINING SINCE 1976, HAWK MOUNTAIN'S CONSERVATION SCIENCE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM HAS TRAINED MORE THAN 360 YOUNG CONSERVATIONISTS FROM 67 COUNTRIES ON SIX CONTINENTS. UPON THEIR RETURN HOME, INTERNS AND TRAINEES CONTINUE TO WORK WITH US AS PARTNERS AND HELP TO MOVE FORWARD HAWK MOUNTAIN'S MISSION TO CONSERVE BIRDS OF PREY WORLDWIDE. PARTIALLY THROUGH ENDOWMENT BUT ALSO FUNDED IN PART BY GENERAL OPERATIONS, THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST YOUNG CONSERVATIONISTS COME TO HAWK MOUNTAIN AT ABSOLUTELY NO COST. INTERNS AND TRAINEES ARE SELECTED EXCLUSIVELY UPON PERSONAL MERIT AND THE CONSERVATION NEED IN THEIR AREA--NEVER ON INDIVIDUAL ABILITY TO PAY. |

THIS PLAN CALLS FOR AN ADA ACCESSIBLE WALKWAY FROM THE PARKING AREA TO THE NEW GATHERING SPACE, ADDITION OF NATIVE PLANTINGS, A STONE AND TIMBER STAGE AREA WITH SOUND AND LIGHTING, AND MOISTURE RESISTANT SEATING. THE THIRD PHASE WILL FOCUS ON THE SCENIC GATEWAY AND CREATING A PROPER APPROACH THE SANCTUARY, AND IMPLEMENTING RECOMMENDATIONS FROM A VISITOR AND PARKING STUDY, WHILE THE FINAL PHASE WILL BE A RENOVATION OR REBUILT OF THE VISITOR CENTER OFFICES WITH A FOCUS ON IMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND IMPROVING VISITOR SERVICES. | ||
