With a strong commitment to the welfare of abused and neglected bears, Oswald's Bear Ranch serves as both a rescue refuge and an educational facility, dedicated to teaching visitors, especially children, about the care needed to protect black bears and their environment. Through their Free School Bus Field Trips, they offer an engaging and informative experience for youth, showcasing the journey of rescued cubs to adulthood.
