Congratulations to Senior Environmental Specialists Deborah Frosch and Wendy Greene as they were recently honored by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) with a Tech Transfer Award for their work focused on endangered and protected species within electrification and sustainable energy strategy! Deb and Wendy helped develop habitat management plans for monarch butterflies.

Last year, Hoo’s Woods Raptor Center admitted 110 raptors including 22 bald eagles, making it one of the organization’s busiest years to date. So far this year, Hoo’s Woods helped five bald eagles and a baby great horned owl. The nonprofit also provided education and raptor experiences to students of all ages. Hoo’s Woods staff recently visited Yahara Elementary School in DeForest, Wisconsin, and released an eagle back into the wild. This work can be difficult but makes a huge impact on our winged friends. We're proud to support Hoo’s Woods Raptor Center and other similar raptor centers again this year
