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.


On  The Visitor's page we will have:

Picture's are of wildlife that have been rehabilitated at DARK STAR , or Pictures of wildlife taken at Wild and Free or pictures of wildlife  Transported to Wild and Free(Garrison Animal Hospital).



At DARK STAR WILDLIFE NURSERY :

We provide wildlife with a Safe, Healthy, and Clean environment . We release the wildlife as soon as they are able to survive on there own in the wild. This spring we hope to accomplish on setting up more outdoor enclosures with a natural habitat surroundings.
