Green Mountain Falconry School

Falconry, the art of hunting with a trained bird of prey, is an ancient field sport that is still practiced by a dedicated few. Green Mountain Falconry School allows visitors an insight into raptor conservation, the falconers’ world, and the birds that occupy it.

Master falconer Rob Waite has been practicing falconry for over 30 years. Rob studied in the United Kingdom before moving to the United States to manage the falconry school at the Equinox for 18 years. Rob now owns and operates the Green Mountain Falconry School at beautiful Boorn Brook Farm where he shares his passion for this ancient sport with guests of the resort.

Hawk identification, training, conditioning and hunting methods, the falconers’ furniture (equipment), and a rich history are just some of the fascinating aspects of this amazing sport. Although sessions do not certify you as a falconer all programs are hands on experiences with a licensed falconer keen to share their passion with you.

The Green Mountain Falconry School offers a variety of experiences with these amazing birds; from introductory lessons and Hawk walks to an exclusive combination of both programs for both individuals and groups.

Guests of all ages are welcome; individuals must be 12 years of age or older to handle birds.
