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.

Caribou are large members of the deer family. Both cows and bulls can grow antlers, though the bulls’ are larger and more regular in shape. In winter, their coat is light gray to white; in summer, their coat sheds to reveal dark gray or black.

Have you ever seen an elk swim? 🤩 Elk are strong swimmers and can travel long distances in water. One of our Roosevelt bull elk went swimming and bugling after the lead bull and elk herd today.
