“Preserving wildlife helps heal the human spirit”
Wildhaven is home to native and endangered species from the San Bernardino Mountains. The sanctuary houses wildlife that are unable to live successfully in the wild, often as a result of injury or human contact. Educational programs, both on and off site, are offered to the public, providing crucial information about indigenous wildlife and how to co-exist, as well as an unforgettable chance to experience these animals personally. Wildhaven Ranch moved to its current 35 acre ranch in the community of Cedar Glen near Lake Arrowhead in 2000. Along with much of the Cedar Glen community, the animal sanctuary was devastated by the horrific “Old Fire” of 2003. But thanks to the dedication of their staff and volunteers, as well as the efforts of community and government leaders, Wildhaven Ranch is now fully functional with plans to expand.
