Gainesville-Carson Springs Wildlife Conservation Foundation

Carson Springs Wildlife Conservation Foundation is primarily a conservation and educational facility and we rescue exotic animals in need. They also have a rehabilitation license for native wildlife. They have very strict protocols for safety, optimal animal care, and our enclosures far exceed the minimum standard.

Carson Springs provides educational opportunities and activities for a wide variety of people including school groups, college and vet students, 4H groups, and continuing education for veterinarians. They house and support the conservation of endangered species. There are no paid administration salaries. Christine and Barry donate their time, land and funds to further their mission of advancing conservation through education. All donations go directly to animal care, education, and conservation of wild endangered species.

*Guided tours are by advanced appointment. NO general admission.
