Touch the Wild in a Way You Never Dreamed Possible!

The New Hampshire School of Falconry in Deering is a premiere educational experience in the sport of falconry in New Hampshire. Located on twenty-nine acres of woodland, cascading streams, gardens in flower during the spring and summer, and towering maples that glow with brilliant colors during fall foliage season, beginners and advanced students alike will find adventure!

We welcome you to sign up for an experience with master falconer Joe Ford, Nancy's former apprentice, at the New Hampshire School of Falconry.

Touch the Wild! Fly a Hawk!

Adventure awaits during one of the many classes, workshops, and walks offered at the school.

All levels of experience have an adventure in their future with a falcon, classes include the adult and child Falconer's Workshop for beginners or the Walk with a Hawk for returning guests, a group demonstration, or a Hunt in the Field with a pointing dog.
