To You Who Can Make A Difference . . .
We are pleased to present the future needs of
Ellijay Wildlife Rehabilitation to you, the committed and dedicated
wildlife preservationist. The total amount of our request is
$771,606.80, or any part thereof. On this web site, you will find
specific information describing and illustrating our Indoor Nature
Center. On the following page, you will find a description of each
section:
Wildlife Hospital, Clinic and Treatment Center
Educational Center with Classrooms
Wildlife Library and Media Center
Food Preparation, Distribution and Storage Area
Reptile Display
The second phase of this project is our five
acre Wildlife Natural Habitat Eastern Cougar Pre-Release and Research
Area. In this area, we will place a pregnant female for the purpose of
allowing her to have her cubs and raise them in a natural habitat. At
the end of two years, the cubs will be ready for release back into the
wild. During this two-year time period, scientists and
environmentalists will have the greatest opportunity to study and
research America's most endangered native mammal -- the Eastern
Cougar.It is important for you to know that these two projects have
been carefully studied, developed, and are now ready for
implementation. In our research, we have determined the following:
- The Indoor Nature Center will be constructed
at a cost of only $52.00 per square foot. The total square footage
is 9,119 sq. ft. This will require a sum of $474,188.00. In
addition, we have assumed a 10% Contingencies Reserve of $47,418.80.
The total for this completed project is $521,606.80.
- The five acre Wildlife Natural Habitat
project will be constructed at a cost of $50,000.00 per acre. The
costs will include land acquisition, fencing, safety features,
emergency medical facilities, and "blinds" for study and research.
The total for this phase is $250,000.00.
Together, we CAN make the difference! We have
other projects—one may be just right for your help. Please contact us
if you need any additional information or have any questions.
Sincerely,
