CURRENT PROJECTS

NEW BEAR DEN

We have been working on this project for several years and are thrilled to announce that the new bear den is officially complete!

The new building was thoughtfully planned out with a food and enrichment prep area that can also be a veterinary space when needed. The interior halls and raceway were designed to accommodate training and veterinary interactions with specialized gates and access hatches. The dens themselves are spacious, with individual lighting and ventilation, and built-in cameras for 24/7 monitoring. Windows get natural light into each den, while sight lines were carefully planned to give the bears privacy when needed, but also allow for keepers to comfortably and safely work around the bears.

FUTURE BEAR HABITAT

Work continues to make the future outdoor habitat a reality, and we are excited to see this ambitious project steadily taking shape as funding allows. Exterior concrete work needed to support future landscaping has now been completed, and additional land has been cleared to prepare the area for the next stages of development. Each step brings us closer to creating an outdoor habitat that will provide even more exciting and dynamic opportunities for visitors to observe the bears engaging in natural behaviors, helping them better understand the importance and value of their wild counterparts. However, there is still much work to be done, and we continue to need financial support to bring this much-needed project to completion. We hope you will consider making a donation to help us move this important project forward.
