The Southwest Wildlife Foundation is dedicated to wildlife rescue, wildlife and environmental education internationally, and the development of the Cedar Canyon Nature Park.

Amongst the crowd and joining in the ceremonies was (red arrow) Ray Makar who found the Eagle in Baker Reservoir just 3.5 miles northwest of Cedar City, Utah on Dec. 15th. Ray and his dog Maker were lucky enough to get the drowned bird out of the reservoir and cover it with a blanket. They then called the sheriff and Fish and Game who got ahold of Martin Tyner to rescue the Eagle. Captain Charles Brad Triplett of the National Guard was on hand to help with the release. The actuall release was performed by Weslie Porter also of the National Guard. These military men are going back to Iraq shortly for another tour.

In October 2000, Rocky Mountain Power/Pacificorp donated 22.6 majestic canyon acres in Cedar City, Utah to create a permanent wildlife rescue facility and nature park. Nestled between beautiful red sandstone mountains, our goal is to provide a public educational facility dedicated to the environments’ represented by the Colorado Plateau and the Great Basin. The Cedar Canyon Nature Park sits on the transition point between the two unique ecosystems.

The Southwest Wildlife Foundation of Utah cares for approximately 100 sick, injured and orphaned native wildlife each year. Restoring these animals to health and returning them to the wild is our primary goal.
