History & Mission
Since 1964, George Jury has led the effort to permanently protect miles of wilderness. What began as a small dream to protect 400 acres of wilderness has grown to over 2000 acres today.
Our Mission
George Jury is the founder of Greenwood Wildlife Sanctuary. He and his late wife had the dream and mission to conserve the natural state of the land, protect the wildlife, and allow for the education and study of nature in its pristine state. This project is solely funded by Greenwood Foundation, a private operating foundation committed to protect the land permanently.
What We’ve Achieved

“We have always wanted Greenwood to be one place where wildlife can truly find sanctuary.”
