Upcoming Projects
At YWS we're always pushing forward to pursue our mission at the highest standard. Whether that involves improving facilities, constructing new habitats, or adding animal enrichment items, there's always something going on at the sanctuary. We love keeping everyone updated on our ongoing projects. They wouldn't be possible without your support!
Meeka's New Home
Meeka's new home will be located where the old red fox habitat used to be. Back Alley Metals has constructed a green house inspired frame and we are starting to gather materials for the interior of her new home!
Sandhill Crane and Vulture Habitat
This year we'll be working on the construction of two all-season enclosures with heated winter shelters for our migratory sandhill cranes and vultures. Fundraising is ongoing for this project and with your support we can build two amazing new habitats!
