Blue Ridge Wildlife Center (BRWC) embraces the compelling mission of caring for native wildlife by integrating veterinary medicine, rehabilitation, education, and research. We are a full-service wildlife teaching hospital and rehabilitation facility that cares for native wildlife by treating animals in need and by educating citizens on how to protect animals and their habitat in perpetuity. With these two goals, we aim for greater native biodiversity and healthy ecosystems for the benefit of all living things.

We currently focus on the rehabilitation and release of small mammals, skunks, fawns, migratory songbirds, game birds and waterfowl. We also hold both a sheltering license (for domestic rabbits) and mandatory wildlife (state and federal) permits.

Friends Fur Life Rescue is a 501(c)3, a non-profit organization that is strictly made up of animal-loving volunteers. Their mission is to rescue “at-risk” dogs and cats that have been discarded and forgotten. They focus on the seniors, the ones with health issues and those abandoned, abused or neglected. Many animals we take in have extensive health or behavior issues and are pulled from local shelters before they are euthanized. Their only goal is to give every animal their furever home.

The American Chestnut Foundation has one simple goal: to restore the American chestnut to its native forests. Destroyed by an imported blight many consider the worst environmental disaster of the twentieth century, the American chestnut was virtually eliminated from the eastern hardwood forest between 1904 and 1940. With its loss, wildlife populations plummeted; never to return to former levels. With recent developments in genetics, there is promise that this critically important wildlife food source and timber tree will again become part of our natural heritage. To make this possibility a reality, a group of prominent scientists, in 1983, established the non-profit research-oriented American Chestnut Foundation (TACF). The Foundation's mission is simple: to restore the American chestnut as an integral part of the eastern forest ecosystem. TACF is employing traditional plant breeding techniques, backed by advanced research methods, to develop a blight resistant American chestnut tree. TACF is restoring a species - and in the process, creating a template for restoration of other tree and plant species.
