Wildlife Q&A

5 Min Video – 

We love finding out what makes kids curious!  We asked kids to send us their video questions about the Preserve and Yukon’s wildlife.  Watch the video to hear YWP staff answer:

  1. Do Caribou go in big groups?  And if they do, how big of groups do they go in?
  2. How do mountain goats climb?
  3. Do bunnies only eat carrots or not?
  4. How can people help the wildlife preserve?

Are you a kid? Do you have questions about Yukon Wildlife Preserve or Yukon wildlife? Send your video question to us at info@yukonwildlife.ca. (Some help from parents may be required 😉 )

Covid-19 Closure

Covid-19 Closure

Covid-19 Closure

I am sorry to announce that the Yukon Wildlife Preserve will close to the public. This closure is effective immediately. I’m expecting this closure to be at least to the end of April.

We felt that staying open was no longer compatible with the current recommendations. After all, the Preserve is a popular social destination – as much as it is one of solitude and reprieve.

We also have more than 200 animals that depend on us. We have a heightened responsibility to protect the well-being of our staff. As a result we have also taken steps to cross-train and compartmentalize our work force.

We did not make this decision lightly. Gift shop and ticket sales are an important part of the Preserve’s operations. Like many other organizations, this decision to close impacted the well-being of some of our staff. And it still has the potential to have more grave impacts on the future of the Preserve. While we have closed to the public, much of our operation must continue. The animals still need to eat! I know there’s a lot of need in the world right now. If you are in a position to support our non-profit, charitable organization, visit yukonwildlife.ca/support.

I know the Preserve is an important part of many people’s healthy outdoor lifestyle. We’ve heard so many positive comments – appreciative that we remained open – over the last days and weeks. It is more important than ever to stay healthy. Closing is a difficult, but necessary step that I hope will get us back to doing what we do best – as soon as possible.

My sincere thanks for your understanding and continued support.

Sincerely, 

Jake Paleczny
