Founded in 1988, the Owl Research Institute (ORI) is dedicated to scientific research of owls — particularly their population dynamics, breeding ecology, habitat relationships, and adaptations. We also provide science education, both in field research and wildlife conservation.
Our research station, the Ninepipes Center, is located in the Mission Valley of western Montana. Surrounded by wildlife refuges, grasslands, and wetlands, the area is home to Grizzly Bears, American Bison, and record-setting numbers of raptors.
To date, the institute has achieved the following:
Long-term research programs in Long-eared Owls, Snowy Owls, and their prey species
Assessment of populations and habitats of Montana’s 15-some owl species
Publication of more than 80 research papers and scientific articles
Outreach to thousands in international, scientific, and local communities.
ORI is a non-profit, 501(c)3, tax-exempt organization (Federal Tax Identification Number 81-0453479). We are funded by grants from foundations, corporations, and individuals.
