About the Barn Nature Center

The Barn Nature Center is a non-profit, educational animal sanctuary for rescued and re-homed exotic pets.

Our staff at the BNC is dedicated to helping guests develop a deeper connection with wildlife and a greater appreciation for the vital role animals play in their natural ecosystems. Our ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between people, wildlife, and the environment—highlighting their interconnectedness and emphasizing that the loss of one has lasting impacts on the others.

 

Our interactive exhibits showcase over 45 diverse species from around the world, fostering a mission to offer quality care to our animal ambassadors and deliver environmental and wildlife education to the public.
