WALKING THE WALK in our own backyard - increasing the Zoo's onsite greening practices

We are also committed to reducing global warming and mitigating the effects of climate change. Having engaged in a recent audit of energy use, water use and waste disposal to establish a baseline measurement of our environmental impact, we are hard at work on becoming a greener organization.

Teaching our neighbors to become CREATURES OF HABITAT

As educators, we're creating programs to engage our audience in actions that will protect the planet.

UNDO UNTO OTHERS: The Footprints Carbon Offset Projects

As leaders in our community and stewards of the earth, we're working hard to protect habitat for people and for wildlife. The Zoo also challenges you to do your part - here on this site you have a unique opportunity to calculate your carbon footprint and then make a donation to plant trees that will help offset your environmental impact.
