MEET THE TEAM

OUR TEAM

The RARE Group Coordinator: Sonja Hadenfeldt
Sonja has been a part of The RARE Group since the summer of 2016. During this time she has volunteered in the rehabilitation clinic and helping coordinate transportation for injured raptors. In 2017, Sonja began participating in the planning and exhibiting of RARE’s educational programs across eastern Iowa schools, care facilities, and other wildlife and conservation areas. These experiences have allowed her to meet and create valuable relationships with others interested in the care and protection of birds of prey in Iowa and around the world
“During my time with RARE I have learned so much about raptors and wildlife in general, along with the issues that they deal with day to day. I feel that working with these birds is a special opportunity, each with their own unique characteristics and needs. I really wanted to be involved in educating the public and allowing others to interact with, and appreciate these amazing birds. In my role as coordinator I hope to bring awareness to the issues these birds face and educate communities on how we can be better caretakers of the world around us” – Sonja Hadenfeldt, The RARE Group Coordinator
