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.

Elwha, our six-year-old mountain goat, recently underwent a comprehensive wellness exam in our expansive 435-acre Free-Roaming Area. To ensure his continued well-being, head veterinarian Dr. Allison, associate veterinarian Dr. Cassidy, and the team conducted a thorough check-up. They examined Elwha`s teeth, trimmed his hooves, administered vaccines, and performed additional health assessments. While under anesthesia, the shaggy goat received a good brushing to remove extra shedding from his winter coat.
Rescued moose Calli and Luna just turned two! They are enjoying the nicer weather and new forest growth in the Free-Roaming Area. ๐ซ

This is our fourth year raising endangered northern leopard frogs from tiny eggs! ๐ธ Nearly 400 tadpoles are being closely monitored and cared for daily behind the scenes. The tiny tadpoles will soon absorb their tails and grow legs. They recently started nibbling on lettuce and bloodworms and continue to thrive. Later this summer, the endangered frogs will be released back into the wild!

Another happy bison! ๐ฅฐ๐ฆฌ During a Keeper Adventure Tour, keeper Stephanie came across a female bison adorably playing with an elk antler. Antlers are shed every year. We leave a couple antler sheds in the Free-Roaming Area for animal enrichment. Others are collected for education.
