From the Sanctuary Desk: Sanctuary Tours & Volunteer Days

Wild Earth's Sanctuary & Homestead Tour is a space where you can spend an hour learning how to turn your backyard into a space for rescued animals and abundant vegan permaculture gardens. You will meet and learn the stories of our rescued farmed animals, easy alternatives to industrial food systems (such as veganic growing), as well as learn all about rainwater harvesting, composting, and no-till gardening methods. You will also learn about building hugelkultur beds, digging swales, food forestry, and making an herb spiral.

Tours are $15/adult, $10/student, senior and low income adult, $5/child, and kids under 5 are free. Tours are free for volunteers and monthly donors.
