More about us...
As an organization, our mandate is bird of prey
conservation through education, field study and wise stewardship.
Our current focus is assisting in the recovery of the Peregrine
Falcon in Manitoba. The conservation status of the Peregrine
Falcon in Manitoba remains endangered.
We take the responsibility of wise stewardship
very seriously, acknowledging as falconers that the Peregrine
Falcons we share our lives with on a daily basis are in our
care just for a season. Education therefore is
a positive way to engage the public in increasing awareness
about Peregrine Falcons and other birds of prey and in particular
the use of falconry as a conservation tool.
The captive breeding component and associated
fieldwork of our falconry endeavours constantly serve to remind
us of the enormous privilege we enjoy in working with these
magnificent creatures.
We trust that as you explore this website that
you too will share in some of the passion we feel for these
birds. Indeed it is with passion that we state Peregrine
Falcon Preservation is Paramount for Parkland Mews.
A little about how this site came into being
and an opportunity to thank both Janet Hewitt and James Falconer
(no mistake) for their hard work in creating this website.
