The mission of the International Festival of Owls is to:

- spark a personal connection to owls and the environments we share with them

- provide financial support for the Houston Nature Center

- stimulate tourism in the Houston area.

 

 

 

Each year we hold a raffle with all proceeds going to the Global Owl Project to help with their work on a global level.  Raffle tickets are $5 each, and the prizes are amazing!   All prizes are donated.  Tax receipts for donations can be provided upon request.  2010 prizes include:
