About the NC Falconers Guild

The North Carolina Falconers Guild was formed in the late summer of 1987 when long-time falconer, Bill Halstead, contacted all the permitted falconers in the state and invited them to a meeting at Umstead Park in Raleigh. At this meeting, the North Carolina Falconers Guild was formed and a president was elected. Over the next year, the Guild installed a board of directors, established by-laws, accepted a mission statement, and set up a flexible meeting schedule for the future.

In June of 2022, we celebrated our 35th Anniversary as an organization and we continue to grow today.
