Help Us Build Bear Cub University!
Tax deductible
Bear Cub University (BCU) has met its initial fundraising goal to build the enclosure! We are well on our way and have all of the building materials either on order or already on hand.
We will be keeping this fundraiser open for anyone interested in continuing to help cover the ongoing costs associated with BCU including the care of the bear cubs. Any additional donations received will go towards the care and feeding of the current student body, enrichment projects, and general BCU “campus” upkeep. Thank you to everyone who has donated to get us this far!

In September of 2021 Gold Country Wildlife Rescue (GCWR) was permitted to not only continue providing acute critical care to native black bear cubs, but to also provide continued long-term rehabilitative care until their release back to the wild. We are currently one of only three wildlife rehabilitation groups in the state of California permitted to provide this type of care.
The three burned bear cubs in the video were rescued during the 2021 California Antelope and Dixie Fires. GCWR, in partnership with the Wildlife Disaster Network (WDN) provided them the critical care needed for their burns and other injuries. As of today, these three bear cubs #21-4302 "Leo," #21-4395 "Reggie Taylor," and #21-4588 "Vinny" are healing, playing and growing like weeds.
While they still have the space they need right now, we are urgently raising funds to build a large-scale bear rehabilitation enclosure as soon as possible.
Through donations from people just like you, this enclosure, which we lovingly refer to as "Bear Cub University", will provide the space and enrichment deserved and required by bear cubs to develop the skills they need (like foraging) to successfully return to the wild. While Leo, Reggie Taylor and Vinny will make up the inaugural class, this space will be utilized for the care of many orphaned and injured bear cubs to come in the future.
