Our vision is to provide unreleasable wildlife with life-long homes in an environment that successfully meets their physiological and psychological needs. Our mission is to provide education to our community on the importance of caring for wildlife and their natural habitats.
In 1962, the Yellow River Game Ranch became a first-of-its-kind establishment in Gwinnett County providing a home for injured or orphaned wildlife, as well as a place where hundreds of families came to interact with deer, rabbits, goats and more.Not only did it become an iconic venue in the area, it served as a treasured experience and memory to its many guests.
