Brevard/Transylvania County is home to a healthy population of white squirrels. The Visitor Center is the official home of the White Squirrel Institute, an organization committed to raising money for the rehabilitation of wildlife. When you adopt a white squirrel, you are helping in the conservation and preservation of the white squirrels in Brevard/Transylvania County.

Adopt for yourself or gift an adoption to a friend or family member for a special occasion. Stop by the Visitor Center at 175 E Main St, Brevard, NC, or visit whitesquirrelinstitute.org to fill out the adoption application. For more information, call 828-883-3700 or 828-548-0491.
