Catoctin Wildlife Preserve is closed. We are monitoring and will adhere to state and federal guidelines concerning business operations in the response to the COVID-19 virus.

We are working hard to maintain care for our animal residents in a way that is safe for all humans and creatures.  While we are NOT open to the public at this time, the Animal Care Team remains active and dedicated to professional animal husbandry practices.

The office and guest services staff are maintaining essential communications and business functions through a combination of remote and onsite efforts.

Be one of the first guests to visit the Preserve this year!

If you’d like to ensure you have something to look forward to when we open the doors to guests again, consider purchasing an annual membership.

This supports the preserve’s mission throughout the year. Details are on the Membership Page.
