Review:

Located about third of a mile west of the Quechee Gorge, the Vermont Institute of Natural Science is a non-for-profit environmental education organization in Quechee, Vermont. Its goal is to promote care for the environment through research, education and avian wildlife rehabilitation. The Institute’s Nature Center in Quechee includes 17 exhibits of raptors with hawks, eagles, falcons, vultures, owls and ravens. There are also a nature shop, a classroom, nature trails and an animal support facility which takes care of hurt birds, rehabilitates them and releases them back in their habitat. There is also a new frog exhibit as well as a flight simulator, which creates in visitors a sense of flying.
