My work: B Bryan Preserve
Lives in Point Arena, California
My husband, Frank and I started B Bryan Preserve in 2006 when we moved 11 of our African antelope from MS to the Mendocino Coast. I still have a corporate job where I travel every week and lucky Frank is retired but takes care of our 70 animals. We would love for people to come share this special place where you can stay in beautiful cottages built by Frank and get up close and personal with some endangered African hoof stock.
