About Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary

Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary is a 12-acre wildlife sanctuary in Modjeska Canyon near Silverado where visitors observe nature along trails and from a bird observation deck. The sanctuary includes a natural history museum that displays information about local wildlife and ecosystems. The Chaparral Trail winds through the property, allowing guests to quietly explore the habitat and watch for native animals including wild foxes. A picnic area provides a place to rest during a visit. The sanctuary operates on weekends, and guests should note that dogs are not permitted inside to protect the wildlife. Limited parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The adjacent Cleveland National Forest offers additional outdoor exploration. A visit suits anyone interested in observing wildlife and learning about the region's natural history through self-guided exploration and the museum exhibits.
