At Roan Mountain, we house, care for, and educate the public on a variety of native animals. We work under an educational permit from TWRA. Currently, we care for three birds of prey and several snakes! As you can imagine, caring for these animals is costly, as their food and health care are a specialty!
All of our animals are non-releasable for a variety of reasons. We frequently program with these animals and never charge for educational programs when using them. Here is your opportunity to support our educational wildlife program and help us care for these animals! 
All donations will go to purchase food, pay vet bills, purchase gloves, tethers, falconry equipment, aquarium bedding, and to improve and build more housing facilities for our non-releasable birds of prey.
To donate click the green “Register for Event” button at the right. Your donation is a one-time payment. If you wish to cover more than one day, update the “ quantity” you wish to donate, or simply return to this page in future months.  
Thank you for supporting our Wildlife Ambassadors at Roan Mountain State Park!

Roan Mountain National Public Lands Celebration – 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. Meet at: Visitor Center Porch. Register for the event. Join Roan Mountain State Park on Saturday, October 2nd from 1-4PM at the Roan Mountain State Park Visitor Center for a very exciting celebration of the 2021 National Public Lands Day and state-wide TN Serves initiative.  In this combined event, Roan Mountain will reveal our brand new expansion of 150 acres located in the area east of the Visitor Center.  After a brief presentation of the new property, we will hold a brief plan sharing event in the Visitor Center before working on the existing Peg Leg Mine and Cloudland Nature Trails in an effort to rehabilitate and connect these two trails.  
This volunteer event and trail work day is limited to 20 participants.  A Volunteer Waiver will be required to fill out upon arrival.  Volunteers will be assisting park rangers in the rerouting of current trails to be safer and flow better in a beautiful section of our park.  These two trails will also be designed to connect in preparation for future trails on the new property.  Volunteers will be provided with tools and protective gear, but are welcome to bring their own gloves and eye protection.  Be sure to wear good hiking shoes and bring plenty of water and snacks.  We look forward to celebrating the future and working towards a fun new opportunity with you.  Register today on our Galaxy Digital Volunteer Page.
