Volunteers:

Graystone Ranch is a voluntary work force. Our greatest mission is education where animals and man learn to co-exist (Share the Planet) in peace and harmony. Graystone Ranch touches the lives of over 500,000 people yearly, logs more than 150,000 education hours and rescues over 3,000 animals yearly.

We are a group of likeminded individuals who wish to improve our children's lives and our environment through animal education and awareness. You also can be a part of a team. Please contact us if you enjoy children, nature, and animals (from Aardvarks to Zebras - we do it all).

Whether you have one hour or one hundred hours to dedicate, every second counts. Whether you desire to work with animals and tour groups on the ranch (horses, reptiles, etc.) or work with animals in your own home (bottle feed orphaned babies), we need you. Let us know if you choose to participate in big events (festivals, fairs, ranch groups over one hundred, etc.); we will contact you for availability. What if your talents lie in carpentry, welding, electrical etc., Graystone Ranch is an ever-growing support habitat. There is not one talent a person possesses we could not utilize.

A volunteer must be at least sixteen years of age (with written permission) or enrolled in the program with a parent. Over fifty percent of our voluntary staff is parent-child combinations. What better way to share quality time with your child while teaching them some of life's most important lessons. If you are interested in our volunteer program please read Project Animal Lifeline.

Donations Cash  Releasing a rescued egret Let's face it, cash is always needed. Few of us as Americans complete each month with the thought we have too much money left over. We are all aware money is tight, especially in today's economy. Cash is accepted into the general ranch fund to be used as needed unless the donor desires to choose a particular needy animal. Please visit our animals requiring your assistance page, where we share their personal stories, and the projects in progress. The most difficult part of our commitment is choosing which rescued animals will receive assistance and which will not. It is now your decision on which animal or project will receive your assistance. Graystone Ranch happily accepts one-dollar bills; folks, they add up!

Physical Needs

Below is a brief list outlining some of the items we need in order to educate the children and assist the rescued animals. We can use any and everything - PLEASE don't throw it out. Because it's not on the list doesn't mean we can't use it, it simply means if we listed every single item we need, there would be no room left for any other text (ha! ha!).
