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.

It is with a heavy heart we share the sad news about the loss of our beloved Atlas. The nearly two-year-old male moose arrived at Northwest Trek over a year ago after he was orphaned as a calf in Alaska. Atlas passed away from a severe acute hemorrhagic disease. Our head veterinarian completed a comprehensive necropsy (animal autopsy) and results from advanced lab tests are pending. We are devastated by the loss and our thoughts are with all who cared for Atlas. Our two young female moose, Luna and Calli, are being monitored closely by our veterinarians and animal care team.
In honor of National Volunteer Week, we’d like to thank our wonderful volunteers for their time and dedication all year round! ❤️ Volunteers have made a positive impact on every part of our operations. Last year, 93 volunteers logged 6,907 hours at Northwest Trek! 🎉
We are highlighting three exceptional volunteers who are making a positive impact with their time and hearts. Learn more about volunteers, Karin, Kate and Chris on our blog!

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 Dive in as we search for amphibian egg masses. We routinely survey Northwest Trek grounds for different amphibian species. During our search, we found western toad eggs and western toads in amplexus. Amplexus is a type of mating behavior where the male holds the female toad around the waist in a hug, and at the same time or with some time delay, he fertilizes the eggs as the female lays them. This important data is reported to the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife to better protect and conserve amphibians for the future. 🐸
