Party for the Planet


It's A Party...for the Planet!

Saturday, April 16, 2011
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. Celebrate Mother Earth and learn how to "go green" through educational displays and activities.

Thanks to Keep Toledo/Lucas County Beautiful, Lucas County Solid Waste, Toledo Zoo Green Team, Lott Industries, Allied Waste, Aluminum Cans for Burned Children, and Goodwill Industries for helping us to once again be able to collect your recyclable items!
