Pamela A. Westrom Wildlife Habitat

For those of you who told us to dream bigger, thank you! We are truly dreaming and planning big. With the support of generous donors, construction has started on the Pamela A. Westrom Wildlife Habitat.

This project consists of an animal care room that is large enough for behind the scenes tours and three to four animal enclosures. We are building the new habitats adjacent to Liberty the Bald Eagle’s enclosure to create a corridor of wildlife for visitors to enjoy. We hope that the addition of these animals will enrich the relationship between people and nature by offering a greater diversity of species to whom visitors can connect.

As the staff lead for Animal Care, I am currently training with live birds of prey, such as hawks and owls, and researching care for these animals in preparation to obtain additional birds that will live in the Pamela A. Westrom Wildlife Habitat.

Please check back for updates on the project throughout 2021 – 2022.
