Recently, employees of the Zurich Wilderness Park Foundation cleared the area around the old Sihlbrugg railroad station of invasive neophytes for the second time. The campaign was carried out together with numerous volunteers and various partners. The area infested by problem plants has not increased in size compared to the previous year - which can be seen as a success.

This year, the Zurich Wilderness Park is taking part in the "Abenteuer StadtNatur" festival for the second time. Brief information on red deer, wolves and brown bears will provide exciting moments on Sunday, May 21 in Langenberg. At the same time, we will be celebrating the "Open Day of the Swiss Nature Centres" with a varied program at the visitor center in Sihlwald.

From Monday, April 3, even the journey to Zurich Wilderness Park will be an unforgettable experience: Zürcher Kantonalbank, Sihltal Zürich Uetliberg Bahn SZU and the Zurich Wilderness Park Foundation have joined forces to transform a train carriage into a pristine forest full of wild animals.

The new season of the Zurich Wilderness Park begins at the visitor center in Sihlwald on Sunday, 26 March, with a small celebration. Celebrate with us the opening of the new special exhibition "Weasels & stoats, small animals - big hunters" with guided tours, storytellers, aperitifs and an exciting search for the stoat called Fridolin.

Since the end of 2016, the four otters in the Zurich Wilderness Park have been allowed to use the beavers' enclosure in addition to their own. The animals are having a great time in their new territory. Due to the positive experiences, the management of the Zurich Wilderness Park has decided to stop keeping beavers in future. The last beaver died of meningitis in the summer of 2016.
