Sanctuary Upgrades
Update on our Facility Upgrades: June places us at the halfway mark of when all the Wildlife and Fisheries upgrades must be completed.

Raising enclosure fence height: Weather permitting we hope to have the fence height completed in the next couple of weeks. There will be some tweaking needed on the fence and then most of the upgrades will be done. Then it is on to the larger and more difficult portion of the upgrades. The den houses. Photos Right: Some wonderful folks from Barksdale AFB came out to help with raising the enclosure fences.
The den houses must be constructed of steel, concrete, or cinder blocks with the door that can shut the animal in, in the event of inclement and dangerous weather. Our animals do have good shelter now, but they want us to use different materials. We had a builder from the Navy Construction Battalion (SEA BEES) come out and look over what our needs are. Once we give her the dimensions we need for each den house she will develop the design and material needs down to the last nail or screw. That’s what they do. From there we will get material costs and hopefully get everything donated. We can do this with the help from the public and do it before or by the deadline. More info will come on our website and Facebook once it is ready.
Parking Lot: We got a price on gravel to make a parking lot that will allow us to open after the rain. If you can help with this the cost is $6830.30. This would help us not be dependent on the weather.
