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.

During National Zookeeper Week, we’re excited to honor the amazing team of keepers at Northwest Trek! If you’ve joined us for a Keeper Adventure Tour, you might have had the pleasure of meeting Sunni, who leads the Jeep tours through our expansive 435-acre Free-Roaming Area. Thank you, Sunni, and all the keeper guides, for sharing your passion and knowledge with everyone!
The Discovery Tram Tours on our new electric trams are now back open to the public! Guests can explore the 435-acre Free-Roaming Area in our electric trams to observe herds of bison, mountain goats, moose, elk, deer, and more. Tours are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and spots may be limited. Learn more at nwtrek.org
Raising hundreds of endangered northern leopard frogs is no small task!
Keepers Chelsea and Kameron diligently nurture these frogs from egg masses to mature frogs, preparing them for release into the wild later this summer. They closely monitor pH levels, temperatures, good bacteria, nitrogen cycles, oxygen levels, and overall tank conditions—all vital components of their care. This essential work takes place behind the scenes and represents a cornerstone of Northwest Trek’s commitment to wildlife conservation. Chelsea and Kameron, your dedication is greatly appreciated!
The 2024 Summer Olympics are starting this week, and our animals are joining in to show off their unique skills and talents. See who we think would win gold in the Zoolympics!
Happy National Zookeeper Week to Northwest Trek`s INCREDIBLE keeper team! Thank you for working tirelessly each day to provide the animals with the best care possible.
🐌 Did you know the banana slug is the largest land slug in North America? It can grow up to 8 inches long! Celebrate Slug Fest with us this weekend. We’ll be featuring the Pacific Northwest’s most valuable and misunderstood mollusk: the banana slug. There will be human slug races, slug-themed activities, presentations, and more.
