Welcome
Founded in 1994, the Barry R. Kirshner Wildlife Sanctuary is a special place right here in Butte County. Equal parts wildlife sanctuary, educational park, and research center, the Sanctuary is home to a remarkable assortment of non-releasable wild and exotic animals, many of them endangered species. Our animals have the potential to inspire minds and to change lives! They are only a few of our natural wonders that we are close to losing forever.
Visit
Visit the Kirshner Wildlife Sanctuary and show your support for the residents of the facility and their relatives in the wild!
Sanctuary Visiting Hours:
9:00 am – 5:00 pmTuesday through Sunday
Donors
Although no salaries are paid here, it takes a lot of resources to keep the Foundation up and running. The list of expenses and other needs is endless!
The Barry R. Kirshner Wildlife Foundation has been blessed by many generous individuals and businesses. Our educational and conservation programs could not exist without your contributions and the wonderful support of our community.
