About Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary

Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary
 

Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary is situated in the charming town of Red Lodge, Montana, offering a safe haven for animals that cannot be returned to the wild. The sanctuary is home to a variety of species including wolves, bears, bison, and many bird species, providing an opportunity for visitors to learn about these creatures in a naturalistic setting. With a mission focused on education and conservation, the sanctuary plays a crucial role in protecting local wildlife and promoting wildlife habitat understanding. The sanctuary also offers seasonal programs and guided tours that allow visitors to get close to the animals while learning about their behaviors and habitats. While not as grand in scale as the nearby Yellowstone National Park, the sanctuary provides an intimate setting for observing and connecting with the region's wildlife.
