Here at the Zoo, we’re all about being good stewards of the environment. That’s why Earth Day is such a big deal around here. This year’s Party for the Planet is Saturday, April 19. Celebrate Mother Earth and learn how to "go green" through educational displays and activities. We will once again be accepting items for recycling (please see full list below).

In addition to recycling, we will have other conservation-themed areas throughout the Zoo including how to make smart and sustainable consumer choices, climate change, and Year of the Frog/Amphibian Conservation and awareness.

Various community organizations will be on-hand and there will be plenty of activities throughout the day. (Please note: Times, locations and activities are subject to change)
