Great Smoky Mountains Region - Appalachian Bear Rescue
Appalachian Bear Rescue (ABR) is a one-of-a-kind black bear rehabilitation facility. Located just outside of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, ABR is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization that has been returning black bears back to the wild since 1996. Each year, black bears from our national parks and surrounding areas are orphaned, injured or in need of medical care. Thanks to Appalachian Bear Rescue, these bears are given a second chance.
If you want to help support ABR, please go to the donations page and contribute to our work.
Smoky Mountain Outdoors is dedicated to help protect the bears of the Great Smokies.For every person that goes rafting with Smoky Mountain Outdoors in 2011 we will donate 25 cents to Appalachian Bear Rescue.
