Falconry: Our Legendary Ancient Hunting Tradition
West Coast Falconry is your premiere Northern California resource for a full range of hands-on raptor and falconry classes and services.
Owner and Master Falconer, Kate Marden, invites you to join her and the staff at the West Coast Falconry Center to get a glimpse inside this incredible and ancient hunting tradition. Our classes and experiences are developed to all you to interact with our trained birds of prey. Each of our onsite classes allow students to fly and/or hold one of our raptors. Choose the falconry experience that best suits your level of interest and comfort zone.
Do you have an event where you'd like to add a layer of excitement and mystique? You will find that our educational demonstrations can be tailored to suit any size and age group. Every interaction with West Coast Falconry is filled with a wealth of information covering the natural history of birds of prey, their role in the environment as well as many conservation efforts made by falconers throughout the world, such as saving the Peregrine falcon from extinction.
Birds of prey have a powerful pull on the human mind; here is the opportunity to learn dip your toes into the waters that are the human/raptor relationship.
