Ways to Help the Refuge
Your Support Helps Feed or Rehabilitate an Injured Animal
The Lake Cumberland Wildlife Refuge depends on both generous donors and daily volunteer help. We are very thankful for the local community for enabling us to make a difference in Kentucky's wildlife.
Donate Any Amount
Your financial support and contributions enable us to care for both our rehabilitation and education animals, create a safe and clean campus where animals and visitors alike can thrive, and drive our mission forward! Thank you for your help!

As a small non-profit organization, the Lake Cumberland Wildlife Refuge relies on the daily assistance of hardworking individuals, including students in 7th - 12th grade.
