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.

Today is World Caribou Day! Our caribou herd lives in the Free-Roaming Area and loves to snack on fresh browse. 🌿 Caribou are the only deer species where both males and females grow antlers.

Check out the incredible transformation of our growing northern leopard frog tadpoles! 🐸 These endangered little ones are in the fascinating stage of leg development, soon to morph into young northern leopard frogs. Once they’re ready, the tiny froglets will be released back into the wild in eastern Washington. Northern leopard frogs are endangered in Washington State, facing threats from habitat loss, invasive species, and disease. By supporting their growth, we’re helping to preserve this remarkable species for future generations.

The bachelor herd! Check out the stunning antler growth on the bull elk. Every year, the males will grow in a new set of antlers, and during summer months, their antlers can grow up to 3/4 inches a day!

Rescued moose, Luna and Calli, love the water! 🫎 Moose are excellent swimmers and are known to be able to paddle through water at speeds of up to 6 mph. Moose have a specially designed nose that acts as a built-in snorkel, allowing them to submerge underwater.
