Winston, Ore. — Recent severe weather has left Wildlife Safari in Winston grappling with extensive damage to its infrastructure, including washed-out roads and failed culverts, the organization reported. The heavy rains have severely impacted the 600-acre wildlife park, prompting a large-scale response from park officials.
To address the damage, Wildlife Safari has brought in heavy equipment to reinforce various areas of the park with rocks, ensuring that both the drive-thru paths and other vital infrastructure are safe for visitors and the animals. The park’s management emphasized the urgency of the repairs as the busy summer season approaches, with an influx of visitors expected to arrive in the coming months.
In addition to the immediate repairs, Wildlife Safari is also focused on preventing future damage. The park plans to replace the failed culverts and implement other measures designed to mitigate the risk of flooding in the future.
To fund these critical repairs, Wildlife Safari is seeking donations from the community and supporters. The funds raised will go toward covering the cost of heavy equipment, materials such as rocks, and the replacement of culverts. The organization stressed that these efforts are essential not only to restore normal operations but also to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for guests.
As the recovery process continues, Wildlife Safari remains committed to its mission of providing a unique and educational experience for wildlife enthusiasts. The park encourages those interested in helping to contribute, offering various donation options to aid in the restoration of the park.
