Fortress Of The Bear an educational bear rescue center located in Sitka, Alaska. We bring orphaned bears from all over the state of Alaska and find homes for them in zoos and sanctuaries internationally.  We currently have 8 resident orphaned bears in 3 separate enclosures.  These enclosures mimic the natural settings that they would normally be found.  Visitors view from above in a covered area and have the opportunity to observe and photographic their continuous antics.

Store

Welcome to the Fortress of the Bear webstore!

Most of our designs are created and produced right here in Sitka by our own staff. As often as possible, we incorporate our own bears into our designs.

As a non-profit 501(c) 3, we truly appreciate your support. All proceeds are used to help care for our bears and improve our facilities.
