Silverwood Wildlife Sanctuary
Our Silverwood Wildlife Sanctuary has celebrated its 40th anniversary. It was created in January, 1966, when Harry Woodward’s donation of 85 acres along Wildcat Canyon Road for a nature preserve was recorded by the County. Since then, the nature sanctuary has expanded to take in a total of 723 acres today.
Approximately 30 species of mammals, 25 reptiles, and 160 bird species have been recorded within the sanctuary.
Silverwood is open for guided tours on Sundays and by appointment. details
