Welcome to
The Blue Heron Ranch
Our Mission
BHR is a 501 (c) 3 Nonprofit Organization.
The mission of The Blue Heron Ranch (BHR) is to preserve and protect our 29 acre nature/horse sanctuary. We provide a lifetime home for geriatric horses. We also are developing a self-sufficient intentional community of land stewards at our nature sanctuary.
Slim Pickens is now deceased but he will always be our BHR Ranch Manager In Memorium.

What We Do
BHR owns and operates a 29-acre nature/horse sanctuary in Cloudland, Georgia where we provide a lifetime home for eight horses, many of whom are geriatric. Many of our horses have been a part of our equine therapy work over the years. In addition to caring for horses, BHR cares for the environment. As an organization we teach life skills to people wanting to live in harmony with Mother Nature.
We are actively seeking Member Residents to become land stewards at BHR. We offer several homesites where you can create housing such as a tiny home, a mobile home, or a custom or owner built cabin. Chattooga County, Georgia allows these options.
Member Residents may choose to participate in what the BHR land has to offer, including our community garden and orchard, but there are no set community work requirements. Member Residents pay a monthly lease fee to BHR for their homesite.
After thousands of years of patriarchy, we believe it is important to balance the yin/yang energies in the world by working with all persons to empower the Divine Feminine energy within them. As we heal ourselves, we heal GAIA.
Donations, membership fees, and camping fees fund our work as a non-profit.
The BHR horse barn was built in 2021 by all-women volunteer work crews who gathered together from across America during several BHR Volunteer Work Weeks. They came in response to our call for help with construction. We could not have afforded to build the barn so quickly or so beautifully without them. They will never be forgotten.
