The Hawk Mountain Sanctuary Association is a conservation organization focused on raptor science and education, operating Hawk Mountain Sanctuary as a model for observation, research, and public learning. It is widely recognized as the world's first refuge for birds of prey and as a leading site for monitoring hawk migration, reflecting its international role in conservation. Based in Kempton, Pennsylvania, the sanctuary spans about 2,500 acres and features an eight-mile trail network with several overlooks, including the North Lookout, where spring and autumn hawk counts are conducted. The site offers a year-round Visitor Center with exhibits, Wings of Wonder Gallery, and a bookstore, and provides accessible trails such as the South Lookout. The organization serves visitors, educators, and researchers, supported by membership and visits to advance its conservation work. In late 2024, Hawk Mountain appointed Megan Roselli as Director of Education, indicating continued emphasis on leadership in education.
