History

The AEF was founded in 1985 by a group of wildlife experts and concerned citizens to help the Bald Eagle return to America's skies. The AEF started by providing assistance with private, state, and federal Eagle rehabilitation programs. They expanded to offering full-service rehab care and facilities for the Eagle. In 1991, the AEF began using permanently disabled Eagles in their care for education programs. Since then, they have educated millions of people throughout the United States on conservation of the Eagle.
