2025-06-16 10:00 - 2025-08-25 12:00 UTC | Friendsville Community Park, 945 Community Drive Friendsville, MD 21531, United States
We are thrilled to announce the return of our distinctive two-hour program Adventures with Raptors featuring a diverse array of Birds of Prey. This educational and awe-inspiring experience provides guests with an unparalleled opportunity to encounter, photograph and learn about birds of prey from around the world.

Visitors will be treated to up-close encounters with a variety of raptors, including the Yellow Headed Vulture, Burrowing Owl, Great Horned Owl, and Harris Hawk, as well as the Barn Owl, Barred Owl, Augar Buzzard and more. In addition, program participants may get the chance to see different bird species each week, ensuring that no two sessions are ever the same.

The program not only focuses on introduction and appreciation but also educates attendees about each bird species’ unique habits and habitats. Participants will discover the methods used in training and caring for these magnificent creatures, whether they are destined for falconry or are being prepared as educational ambassadors. Learn from Master Falconer, Breeder, Educator Deron Meador and his wife and partner Sherry. They love their birds and love to share their stories and their knowledge, and we love partnering with them.

Furthermore, the initiative explores the substantial work done by Adventures with Raptors, whose services include the rescue and transportation of injured raptors to Maryland’s Owl Moon Rehab Center, facilitating genetic support for zoological breeding programs, and providing captive-bred birds for wildlife educators and nature centers. Guests might also witness the presence of young baby birds, depending on the breeding season. Perfect for families, friends, and individuals in search of a unique activity, this experience promises fun, education, and inspiration for bird photography enthusiasts too. With raptors hailing from the United States, Eurasia, and South America, the program offers a global perspective on these perched marvels.

All Earth Eco Tours invites everyone wanting to get away from it all, relax, and enjoy nature therapy to explore this amazing opportunity. With a focus on providing stress-free and enriching outdoor experiences, our company ensures every visitor is well taken care of, offering a worry-free enjoyment of the natural world.

We are launching a new program for busy families and it’s an awesome one! Time for You and (your Child too!)
Tuesday Mornings at 10am at the beautiful, pastoral Backbone Farm in the stunning Pleasant Valley near Oakland, Maryland. We are super excited about it and think you will be too!

Starting Tuesday June 17th, and running through August, parents are invited to find serenity while their children engage in exciting outdoor activities with experienced care. Every Tuesday morning, parents can drop off their children with our experienced and creative childcare experts, where they will enjoy supervised play in nature. Activities will include exploring the woods, flower picking, and engaging crafts. Our caregivers ensure that children will have a memorable time with opportunities to sing songs, listen to a story, participate in Kids Yoga and create mementos to take home with them.

While children are immersed in these engaging activities, parents will have the opportunity to unwind fully, knowing that there is nothing to worry about. They will partake in yoga, meditation, and nature therapy amidst the farm’s tranquil surroundings. This retreat offers a perfect escape to breathe, relax, and rejuvenate. A light snack will be provided for both the kids and the adults.

After a morning of relaxation, families will reunite for a bring-your-own-basket lunch in the picturesque garden area.
Our new program is designed to meet the needs of busy, stressed individuals seeking a break from everyday life while ensuring their children have a delightful and enriching experience. We provide a safe and fun environment, allowing parents to enjoy their time knowing their children are in good hands and having a blast.
