  1. The Virginia Falconers' Association
Since 1983, the Virginia Falconers’ Association has been a group of passionate, diverse folks who share a common enterprise: falconry and a love for birds of prey and their environments. We work closely with our governing agency, the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (VADWR), to keep falconry relevant, legal, accessible, and ethical. Among our primary group activities are two field meets and a picnic, working with the VADWR, educational activities and presentations.

The group, made up of volunteers only, has a variety of events, efforts, trainings, and happenings underway all year and updates/information will be posted on this website.
 
Next VFA Event is

Saturday August 9, 2025
​Location: Lake Arrowhead, Luray, Virginia
Check this website in the morning of the picnic to make sure we have not moved the picnic to an indoor venue because of inclement weather or other issues.
