Give a memorable gift through Grandfather Mountain's Adopt-an-Animal Program. Symbolically adopt black bears, river otters, cougars, bald eagles, elk, or Sally the Corn Snake. These animals are native species that cannot survive in the wild, so their forever home is in their habitats at Grandfather Mountain. Recipients receive a gift package with photographs, plush toys, paintings created by their adopted animal, day passes, and more—varying by donation level. This gift funds the stewardship of the mountain, conservation efforts, and educational programs.
