NEW BEAR DEN

A New Space Designed with the Bears’ Care in Mind

After several years of planning and work, we are thrilled to announce that our new bear den is officially complete!

Designed with health, safety and well-being in mind, the new building provides improved spaces for the bears for daily care, enrichment and veterinary needs. A dedicated food and enrichment preparation area can also serve as a veterinary space when needed. Specialized gates and access hatches have been installed throughout the interior allowing keepers to safely conduct training and veterinary interactions.

The spacious individual dens feature lighting, ventilation and built-in cameras for 24/7 monitoring. Windows provide natural light, while carefully designed sight lines give the bears privacy when they need it and allow keepers to safely and comfortably care for them.

Completing the bear den was a major milestone—but there’s more to come.

FUTURE BEAR HABITAT

Help Us Take the Next Step

Our vision for the bears extends beyond their new dens. We are continuing work on a new outdoor habitat that will provide the bears with more space for enrichment and opportunities to display natural behaviors.

As funding allows, this ambitious project is steadily taking shape. Exterior concrete work needed to support future landscaping has been completed, and additional land has been cleared in preparation for the next stages of the project.

Every step brings us closer to creating an outdoor habitat where visitors can experience the bears in a more dynamic, natural setting—watching them explore, interact with their environment and demonstrate behaviors that help us better understand and appreciate their wild counterparts.

But there is still much work to be done, and we need your help to make the vision a reality.

Your donation can help us continue moving this important project forward and bring the new outdoor bear habitat one step closer to completion.
