Construction Update

We have big plans for major new exhibits.

See an overview of our current list of projects, or take a close look at the plans for our new Great Northwest Exhibit.

Learn how Portland General Electric provided additional funding to build an EarthSmart building for our Birds of Prey.

Construction is underway on Eagle Canyon, where you will walk through a wooded ravine to get a bird's-eye view of majestic bald eagles and come nose-to-nose with salmon and aquatic reptiles and amphibians at special underwater viewing areas.

Trillium Creek Family Farm Completion: July 10th, 2004
Trillium Creek Family FarmAt the forest edge, Trillium Creek Family Farm will be an interactive experience with fun for kids of all ages! The center of activity will be a traditional Willamette Valley barn with hands-on opportunities to meet several types of domestic farm animals. The farmhouse will feature a large front porch for storytelling and agricultural demonstrations.

Phase IV of the Great Northwest Exhibit focuses on the interaction between wildlife and humans. Bears, cougars, spotted owls and wolverines will reside in the exhibit next to a family farm with many domestic animals. A new Cascade Discovery Center will provide information on the inter-dependency of all who depend on this habitat for survival.
