Since 2000

Conservation through education.

Cedar Cove is a nonprofit conservation and education center committed to animal care, public learning, and a deeper understanding of the environmental pressures facing species and habitats.

Why this work matters

Understanding is the first step toward action.

The mission at Cedar Cove is not limited to what happens inside an enclosure. Education matters because conservation depends on informed communities, thoughtful stewardship, and a willingness to take difficult problems seriously.

Provide sanctuary

Care for animals that need a safe and stable home, while respecting the realities of long-term human care.

Teach with purpose

Use guided visits and animal stories to make conservation issues concrete for families, students, and community groups.

Encourage stewardship

Support the conversations and commitments that move people toward conservation-minded choices in the wider world.

Mission in practice

Animal care, public access, and conservation awareness work best together.

By offering sanctuary to animals with no natural home of their own, Cedar Cove can help visitors understand both the animals in front of them and the wild counterparts whose futures remain at risk.

That approach turns a visit into more than a tour. It becomes a framework for asking better questions about habitat loss, biodiversity, and the long-term consequences of environmental neglect.
