The Seattle City Council is considering cutting funding for the Raptor Center
at the Woodland Park Zoo. The Board of Seattle Audubon Society adopted a
resolution requesting fundig be restored for this excellent facility. It
and Ernie Rose were very instrumental in the Perrigrine Falcon project in
Seattle which had wide publicity and educational function. We do not want
to see this excellent resource eliminated. It should be enhanced.

Please write or call the Seattle City Council and request them to keep the
Raptor Center.
