We Conserve Wildlife
Since 1975, Northwest Trek Wildlife Park has been the best place to see native Northwest wildlife. But we're also dedicated to conserving that wildlife for our planet. We've been recognized for over 40 years of high standards by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums. And we protect wild habitats with earth-friendly practices.

The bull elk herd is staying cool with a refreshing dip! ☀️
When the forecast calls for sunshine, our resident critters know exactly how to chill. 😎 Our pine marten and skunks were treated to some icy enrichment to help beat the heat. Ice enrichment encourages natural exploration, foraging, and problem-solving while giving animals a refreshing way to stay comfortable on warmer days. 🧊

The two adorable American bison calves born last month are growing fast and continue to thrive alongside the herd in the Free-Roaming Area! 🦬

🎉🦫 Happy 10th Birthday, Hudson! 🦫🎉
Our birthday boy celebrated his big day with some of his favorite treats, including a crunchy snack assortment and a special ice cake packed with herbivore pellets and extra veggies! 🥕🧊🥬
Hudson wasted no time digging into his birthday enrichment, using his strong teeth and natural foraging skills to uncover every last tasty bite. Enrichment like this helps encourage natural behaviors while providing mental and physical stimulation.
Join us in wishing Hudson a very happy 10th birthday! 🎂💚

More sweet puppy moments! ❤️ Nine critically endangered red wolf pups born April 18 at our offsite facility are growing fast and thriving. These playful pups are an important part of the effort to help save one of the world’s most endangered canids.
The critically endangered American Red Wolf family will remain behind the scenes at our offsite facility, so stay tuned online for pupdates.
🦌 You may notice something new on one of our elk!
One of our 13-year-old elk is now wearing a GPS collar, helping staff locate and monitor the herd across our 435-acre Free-Roaming Area.
This technology allows our animal care and veterinary teams to quickly find the herd when exams or closer monitoring are needed, supporting excellent care while giving the animals space to roam naturally.
A big thank you to the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe for donating this technology and supporting the wellbeing of the animals in our care. 💚
