Protecting Wildlife Across the Lake Cumberland Region
We are a non-profit organization in Somerset, Kentucky that specializes in wildlife care and education.

Each year, hundreds of sick, injured, and orphaned animals are brought to the Lake Cumberland Wildlife Refuge. We do not encourage anyone to handle wildlife; contact us if you see an animal that may need help.
We partner with local veterinarians to provide quality care to these animals. Some are only dehydrated and can be released after given fluids. Others require several weeks of intensive care
When animals successfully complete the rehabilitation program, the Refuge releases them back into the wild. Many of these releases are recorded and available for viewing on our Facebook page.
Our upcoming annual auction is December 12th, at The Center for Rural Development. Doors open at 5pm, and the live auction starts at 7pm.
All proceeds from this event go towards finishing our new Rehabilitation Barn for sick and injured birds of prey, the development of new outdoor enclosures for our education Birds of Prey on display, and the continual care and feeding of all our Animal Ambassadors.

Specializing in Birds of Prey, our goal is to continue caring for sick and injured wildlife, expand our capabilities and offer better care for more animals, educate the local community of Lake Cumberland’s fascinating wildlife and environmental care, and to equip our student volunteers for future success.







Because we are mostly volunteer led, we ask that anyone interested in visiting the Lake Cumberland Wildlife Refuge call ahead or send a message. Tours cost $5 per person.
