The J Paul Grayson Foundation

About

THE J. PAUL GRAYSON FOUNDATION INITIATED A HORSE RESCUE AND WILDLIFE REFUGE OPERATION ON 2/16/2012. IT IS CALLED THE ROUGH CREEK REFUGE AND CONSISTS OF APPROXIMATELY 100 ACRES OF PASTURE AND FOREST LAND IN THE FOOTHILLS OF THE KIAMICHI MOUNTAINS NEAR CLAYTON OK. THE PURPOSE OF THE REFUGE IS ANIMAL RESCUE, REHABILITATION, AND REFUGE WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON EQUINE RESCUE / REHABILITATION AND THE PRESERVATION OF A NATURAL WILDLIFE REFUGE FOR LOCAL ANIMAL POPULATIONS INCLUDING DEER, TURKEY, FOX, BEAVER, COYOTE, BALD EAGLE AND OTHER NATIVE AMERICAN SPECIES. THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF THE J PAUL GRAYSON FOUNDATION DURING 2012 WAS THE ACQUISITION AND PREPARATION OF THE LAND AND THE FACILITIES REQUIRED FOR OPERATION. AT THIS TIME WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 50 ACRES IN HAY PRODUCTION FOR CONSUMPTION BY OUR ANIMALS AND PLANNED FOR DONATION TO OTHER EQUINE RECUSE ORGANIZATIONS. THE REMAINDER IS FOREST AND WETLANDS LEFT IN THEIR NATURAL STATE FOR THE PRESERVATION OF NATIVE ANIMAL SPECIES. WE CURRENTLY HAVE 4 RESCUE HORSES. TWO OF WHICH WERE ACQUIRED FROM THE MUSTANG HERITAGE FOUNDATION WHO OPERATES ON BEHALF OF THE US BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT TO PLACE EXCESS WILD MUSTANG HORSES WITH PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS AND OWNERS.
