At The Birches, we like to provide our residents with unique experiences.

Today we had The Northern Illinois Raptor Rehab and Education team visit with our residents to discuss their mission, rescue, and to teach us the benefits of Birds of Prey in our neighborhoods. As you can see, our residents enjoyed the presentation and the interactive displays.
