The Call of the Wild

Stepping into Yakona Nature Preserve & Learning Center means stepping into the home of some of the Northwest's most iconic wildlife. This secluded peninsula is home to a healthy family of black bears, a nesting pair of bald eagles, elk herds, as well as osprey, deer, owls, and bobcats all thriving in their natural habitats. Many smaller mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates thrive in hidden nooks and crannies of Yakona’s wild places. Practice, patience and silence can reward you with glimpses of the creatures that make their homes here.
