WELCOME TO THE VISITOR'S PAGE
DARK STAR does not allow public viewing of the Wildlife.
If we were to allow public viewing of the wildlife they would loose there fear of humans and would no longer be wild.
The definition of wild is :
Living in a State of Nature....Not Tamed or Domesticated.
The Visitor's page will show a way for the public to view the wildlife and our nursery through pictures and articles and what we hope to accomplish each year.
