LEARNING THROUGH EXPLORATION

The Yukon is a land of extremes, where summer days stretch into endless sunlight and winter nights are painted by the northern lights. This harsh yet awe-inspiring environment has shaped the creatures that call it home. From the thick fur of the caribou to the extraordinary migration journeys undertaken by birds and mammals alike, these animals have adapted in remarkable ways to survive.

The Preserve invites visitors to deepen their understanding of these adaptations and connection to the natural world through guided tours and nature-immersive educational programs. Our knowledgeable staff share fascinating stories about the survival strategies of northern wildlife and the critical roles these animals play in maintaining ecological balance. It’s a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of this fragile world and gain insights into how we can better protect it.
