Barn Owl

Do you have a soft spot for snowy owls? Is there someone on your list who is bonkers for beavers? Or maybe your friends are fond of foxes. Whatever your favorite animal is, join in Northwest Trek's animal sponsorship program or purchase a gift sponsorship. The park's threefold mission of conservation, education and recreation depends on supporters like you who are dedicated to the preservation of our precious native American wildlife.

Caring for animals is costly. Northwest Trek's food budget alone is more than $50,000 each year. Cougars must have their meat and skunks their chow. In addition, the animal keepers add daily environmental enrichment treats, such as corn for a coyote or an egg for a badger, to the exhibits of all the animals. Add to that veterinary care and improvements to exhibit environments and you can see why your sponsorship dollars are so important.
