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 25 years of high standards by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums. And we protect wild habitats with earth-friendly practices.

Say hello to Hickory and Bluebell! Keepers let the rescued raccoon kits pick their own names, and these five-month-old siblings are already settling in and excitedly exploring their new home. You can catch them climbing stumps and splashing in their stream in the Forest & Wetlands area.
Bison rut (breeding season) is always entertaining and is in full swing at Northwest Trek. 😂 Massive bulls bellow and roar while looking for their perfect match. Once a bull has found a female, he will stay by her side and court her until she is ready to mate. 🦬
Elk rut (breeding season) has officially started! It’s that time of year when bull elk decorate their antlers, bugle and battle fellow bulls for the ladies.

The bull elk have shed their fuzzy velvet from their antlers, which means elk rut (breeding season) is starting! Antler grows faster than any other kind of bone. During summer months, bull elk antlers can grow up to 3/4 inches per day!
If I fits, I sits! 🐻
From a rescued cub to big bear, Hawthorne still believes: if I fits, I sits! 💗 Some things never change, especially when it comes to the grizzly bear’s favorite weeble toy.
