| Jade and Storm, the resident foxes of the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, have officially been moved into their new enclosure and look how happy they are! Jade, our male red fox, came to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center in 2013 when he was believed to have been orphaned. Storm was brought to AWCC in 2016 via Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks since she was owned illegally as a family pet. Interested in learning more about Jade and Storm and their wild counterparts? Attend our free program Meet the Foxes at 2:30 pm daily. You can see the foxes in their new enclosure located next to the coyotes and behind Twix the porcupine. Thank you to ConocoPhillips Alaska and AAA Fence for supporting the construction of the new exhibit. |

Express your creative side on an antler.
AWCC is hosting a paint event unlike any other. Every year, antlered animals shed their old antlers and grow new ones in the summer. We collect them, and now we invite you to paint one! This event is a free-form style of painting. A variety of designs will be available for inspiration or go with your own unique style. Space is limited to available antlers and they will go fast.
NEED TO KNOW: All supplies, antlers, and admission are included in the price. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little paint on. No prior experience in painting is necessary. The event will be held in Bison Hall at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center.
Please arrive 10 minutes prior to the event start time to allow time to check-in, park and get your antler. Email us at info@alaskawildlife.org with any questions you have. Participants are welcome to bring their own paintbrushes and paints if desired.
Please read our cancellation policy prior to purchase. Event tickets are fully refundable up to 72 hours before the scheduled event. After 72 hours event ticket(s) are non-refundable.
