Visit our on-site Wildlife Walk

Open every day, 10AM-4PM for self-guided tours.  

Blue Ridge Wildlife Center has many wildlife ambassadors - animals that cannot be released back to the wild - who now help us educate the public on native wildlife, human-wildlife conflicts, habitat protection, and overall environmental stewardship.  

Our unique wildlife walk guides the visitor around the enclosures of our ambassadors so that you can see them up-close and learn their stories.  

The Wildlife Walk area is filled with native plants that attract all kinds of insects, birds, and other species to the area. No pets, alcohol, or smoking.

Species you may see on your walk!

Peregrine Falcon

American Kestrel

Red-tailed Hawk

Turkey Vulture 

Black Vulture

Striped Skunk

Virginia Opossum

Make sure you come inside where some of our ambassadors live inside seasonally or year round and are also available for viewing!
