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.

Calli knows how to reach the best snacks! 🌿🫎
With her long legs and impressive height, Calli can browse leaves, twigs, and fresh growth high in the trees that many other animals can`t reach. Moose are built for browsing, using their flexible lips and strong tongues to pull vegetation from branches with ease.

Bison calves are beginning to make their appearance, and you may even spot elk calves as you journey through the landscape on a Discovery Tram Tour. Included with admission, the tour offers a unique opportunity to see these young animals alongside their herds as they explore their world and grow throughout the season.
Special moments with dad. ❤️
Red Wolf dad Fiddle is doing an incredible job helping care for his nine critically endangered pups. From keeping a watchful eye on the family to spending time with the growing youngsters, he`s an important part of their early development.
These curious pups are growing fast, and we`re thrilled to share a glimpse of this special family with you. The American Red Wolf family will remain behind the scenes at our offsite facility, so stay tuned online for pupdates.
During annual amphibian monitoring at our offsite location, Toad Pond, our team spotted Pacific treefrogs and tadpoles, amphibian egg masses, and western toads in amplexus, a breeding behavior where the male holds onto the female as she lays eggs.
A few months ago, staff cleared sections of dense red water fern to improve amphibian access and breeding habitat, and it’s exciting to see amphibians using the pond successfully! The data collected is shared with the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife to support future amphibian conservation efforts.
Baby howls! The six-week-old Red Wolf pups are starting to find their voices. The litter includes six males and three females, and is the latest success in recovering this critically endangered species. The American Red Wolf family will remain behind the scenes at our offsite facility, so stay tuned online for pupdates.
