About Us

Local Animals In Need

Our mission has always been to help all wildlife that belongs in an area have a chance to thrive in their environment. Help us help Bald Eagles, Mockingbirds, and bobcats, as well as hundreds of other species, thrive in our area!

We believe that all native wildlife deserve the chance to live in our area. Through innovative habitat building and education, we can help humans and wildlife live in peace everyday!

Our operating area includes the most visited National Park in the United States: The Great Smokey Mountains, home of this lovely (locally) endangered Elk.

Invasive Wildlife Control Measures

Every continent except Antarctica is being ravaged by non native species. While native to other areas of the world, animals such as wild boar are devastating our environment, even here in our area!

Working with Wildlife Control companies and local agencies, we are working to eliminate the presence of these animals through humane methods of capture.

Not Just Our Hometown

We also support wildlife around the world. Animals such as this beautiful Amazon Parrot are endangered because of capture for the domestic animal trade. At Norma Cogar Memorial Wildlife Center, we have a captive bred amazon who can show you the absolute beauty these birds have while helping us show you why you should only buy captive bred parrots!

Environmental Support

We are actively working towards giving wildlife the environments they need to survive. Through our Wild Habitat Restoration Program, we are helping to rebuild wild areas for wildlife to thrive.

Supporting Injured and Sick Wildlife

Our Wildlife Rescue and Recovery Fund is set aside to help animals in our care as well as zoo animals, animals in rehabilitation, and other organizations in our field make a difference every day!
