In Memoriam
(Cromokee)
Wolf Gardens is working on becoming a very unique Wildlife Center, complete with rehab, rescue and an excellent education center.
We believe that the protection of wildlife can only be complete if we also protect the habitat that is required to maintain a natural environment for each species. Diversity in habitat and species are essential to the complete health of our ecosystem.
In rescuing wildlife we find that there are many situations which require rescue. Some of these are;
1. Wild animals which have found their way into neighborhoods and are in danger of being harmed because of their presence.
2. Animals which have been injured or are sick and need medical attention.
3. Animals which have been caught and are being held in captivity, becoming a threat to those who may have them in their possession.
4. Captive bred wildlife.
Wild Life Rehabilitation
Our plans include an on site Veterinary clinic which will make sure that the animals we rescue and release back into the wild are in excellent health.
When we release animals we will release them into the wilderness area of the more than 400 thousand acres of forest land that surrounds us here in our location.
The Wildlife Center
The Wildlife Center will ultimately include rescues of all native wildlife to North America.
Animals which can be released back into the wild will not be part of our visitation program by the public, however we will provide extensive slide shows of these animals in the Education Center.
We will have many nature and interpretive trails, picnic tables, several pavilions and Wildlife watching activities for our visitors.
Our facilities will include several camp grounds both improved and primitive.
It is our goal to provide programs and facilities which will not only be of interest to our visitors for a few hours, but will make you want to spend your entire vacation with us each year.
Our Current Efforts
Currently we are home to 36 captive bred wolves. We have had to turn down over 200 animals this year alone and this is about average on a yearly basis.
We hope to teach people why captive breeding of wildlife for profit has such a negative impact on the efforts of those who work so hard to return our ecosystem to balance.
Some of the negative effects of captive breeding for profit are:
1. The need to rescue captive bred animals means that we have to expend large amounts of funds in areas that take away from the areas they are most needed, such as;
A. Wildlife Rehab.
B. Habitat restoration and protection.
C. Habitat acquisition
D. Bio-diversity development.
E. Restoration of endangered and protected wildlife.
2. Because of the great demand for rescue of captive bred wildlife bred for profit, many animals will not find homes and will be put to sleep because they have become:
A. A danger to the owners.
B. A threat to the neighborhood where they are being held.
C. Sick or injured due to the lack of space .
Wild animals need space. Their nature requires that they have space to develop. It is also important for us to understand that no matter how small an animal was when it was taken as a pet, that it will always be a wild animal.
By keeping these beautiful creatures confined in apartments, fenced in yards, and cramped areas we place them and ourselves as well as others in danger.
In order to make Wolf Gardens Wildlife Center a reality, we need you. This is far to great an undertaking for any person or even a small group to bring into existence.
Due to the great demand for rescuing captive bred wildlife, funding for wildlife projects is often in short supply and great demand.
A lot of people working together and helping a little, will achieve just as much as a few people helping a great deal.
So we ask you to join with us in making the completion of Wolf Gardens Wildlife Center a reality.
