A Gate

The front gate at the Toucan Rescue Ranch hasn't been replaced since 2004. It has severed its purpose and now needs a facelift. We are raising funds for a higher security gate that will ensure the safety of the rescued wildlife, our guests, staff, and volunteers. This will be automated to help us with animal rescues and deliveries, as well as making the front of the property more secure with a survallience camera.

Enclosure Locks

At the Toucan Rescue Ranch, we care for over 200 individual rescued animals. Many of them enjoy outdoor enclosures where they are safely kept in their habitats. However, one thing that constantly needs replaced - locks for their enclosures! Why? Because they break, keys are lost, and depreciate greatly in the tropics. So, with a fundraiser focused on security, we are raising money for a reliable lock that will unify all security at TRR!

Benches

It is important to us that our guests have the best experience at our facility while learning about wildlife conservation and that involves having resting spots, especially for those who are of old age or have disabilities.

Every vote for your image will raise $1 for our fundraising expenses (1 Vote = $1 raised). So, we are counting on family, friends, and the community to fall in love with these photos, and dedicate their donation to their favorite! The top 3 photos in each category with the most votes will place in our contest, so every vote matters!

Without the safety and security of our rehabilitating and sanctuary animals, the Toucan Rescue Ranch could not be sustainable. Join our second annual photography contest and support our mission today!
