Did you know that 2026 has been one of the busiest years ever for our wildlife rehab program? That's right, we've seen 68 patients come through our doors already, and the year isn't even over!

We want to give a huge thank you to the conservation officers who got the animals to the Preserve, and also thank you to everyone for your donations and support throughout the season! You are helping us keep the Yukon wild at heart.

Behold the small but mighty sub-adult elk! It will be a little while longer before this young bull has big antlers. While male elk grow a bigger set of antlers every year, they won't hit their prime size until they're about 7 years old.

That doesn't stop this elk from showing his attitude for , though! Or maybe he's just trying to clean some boogers out of his nose...either way, we won't judge.

Sometimes the most beautiful moments are simply different lives quietly sharing the same place.

Jake and Atlin are two rescued moose who now spend their days moving with the changing rhythms of the Preserve. On this particular morning, they had the pond to themselves - or so they thought.

Look a little closer, and you’ll spot two swans gliding quietly through the scene, completely unbothered by their much larger neighbours.

A small glimpse of what coexistence can look like and a reminder that the natural world is often more connected than we realize.
