Gold Country Wildlife Rescue

The successful release of the five Black Bear cubs that came to us in 2023 is a testament to the immense effort and care that goes into rehabilitating bears. It's a reflection of the love and commitment poured into their months of care by all of us here at Gold Country Wildlife Rescue, made possible through amazing community support.

However, our journey is far from complete. Now that "Summit University" is empty, the clock is ticking for us to complete the second half of the space before the next bear cubs come into care! Because it is paramount that the animals in our care experience as little human interaction as possible, we are only able to work on completing Summit University when we do not have bears in the enclosure. Now that the 2023 cubs have returned to nature, the completion clock is ticking!

We need $60,000 to complete Summit University, and the exciting news is we’ve already raised $30,000 towards that goal. We need your help to raise the final $30,000, as quickly as possible. We need to have the project completed so we can be ready for whatever 2024 brings us in the way of bears!

Your donation will directly impact the lives of Black Bear cubs, just like the five most recent cubs "Honey", "Marshall", "Blue", "Travis", and "Jason", and countless others who will rely on us for a second chance at life in the wild. Coming into our care as orphans due to illness, human impact, or injuries due to wildfires, Black Bear cubs are allowed an opportunity to heal and grow while remaining wild within the safety of Summit University. With your help to expand this enclosure, we'll be able to offer more space, enrichment, and specialized care to future cubs.
