Our Mission: to provide outdoor education, foster an appreciation of the outdoors, and develop good stewards of the Earth.

At Hardigree, we aim to provide opportunities for families and individuals to venture outdoors and embrace the wonders of their local ecosystem. From captivating wildlife encounters to enriching educational workshops, Hardigree Wildlife Sanctuary offers a variety of ways to engage with the local environment. We hope that your visits to Hardigree ignite curiosity, inspire wonder, and nurture a sense of stewardship towards our planet that can be passed on to the next generation.

The Hardigree Wildlife Sanctuary is a 501c3 non-profit organization. It is governed by a Board of Directors and is completely volunteer driven. The sanctuary is 88 acres of protected nature, creating a safe environment for local fauna and flora as well as a place for outdoor and agricultural education. Our amenities include restrooms, a pavilion, an outdoor chapel, a fishing pond, primitive camping sites, nature trails, open fields, and outdoor classroom areas.

Please note that we are not an animal rehabilitation center and cannot assist with injured or abandoned wildlife.

Hardigree Wildlife Sanctuary relies on the dedication and commitment of volunteers to fulfill our mission of environmental education and conservation. We welcome individuals and groups who share our passion for nature and are eager to make a positive impact in their community. Whether you’re interested in outdoor maintenance, program support, or conservation efforts, there’s a place for you at Hardigree. Want to get involved? Contact us!
