Key objectives of The Institute include creation and dissemination of educational tools and materials to facilitate nature-based program replication, and adding to the growing pool of data demonstrating the benefits of integrating animals into therapy.
Green Chimneys clinicians and educators are proud to partner with colleagues, academics and the research community to broaden knowledge of nature-based approaches. By sharing best practices and documenting outcomes, the field of human-animal interaction will continue to gain recognition as an effective approach to treatment of mental health and related issues.
Crowned the best for falconry in medieval times, gyrfalcons were once reserved for kings. As the largest falcon in the world, with exquisite plumage ranging from bright white to deep charcoal, gyrs are revered for their powerful skill of flight. Their long wings make hunting waterfowl from 3,000-feet-high a feasible and fantastical feat. This falcon was flown in the sport of falconry for several years.
