Schedule of Events:
MONDAY, APRIL 12 - CHOOSING SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS FOR YOUR LIFE
Join us on Monday, April 12 at 1:00 PM on Facebook Live and Instagram Live with Zoo Educator Jackie Westlein and Volunteer Gay Gasser about choosing and using sustainable products.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14 - CITY NATURE CHALLENGE WEBINAR
There is nature all around us, even in our cities and backyards! Knowing what species are in our city and where they are helps us study and protect them, but the only way to do that is by all of us – scientists, land managers, and the community – working together to find and document the nature in our area. On April 14th from 7:00-8:00 PM via Zoom, we’ll learn more about the City Nature Challenge and the iNaturalist app with Educator Bridget Cervero from The Maritime Aquarium. Participants will learn how to use the app for a global BioBlitz from April 30 - May 2, 2021.
SATURDAY, APRIL 17 - PARTY FOR THE PLANET GIVEAWAY AT THE ZOO
On April 17, the first 100 families to enter the Zoo will receive a Party for the Planet swag bag featuring the following: a trowel for planting, reusable veg bags, SAFE cards, window clings to deter bird strikes, and more!
SATURDAY, APRIL 17 & SUNDAY, APRIL 18 - BEARDSLEY PARK CLEANUP
Up to 50 individuals each day can sign up to help the Zoo clean up Beardsley Park—socially distanced, of course. We will supply gloves, trash bags, paper pickers and companionship: you bring your energy, face mask and desire to help clean up the earth! Families are welcome. The event takes place from 9:30-12:00 both days. As our thanks for being part of the clean-up crew, everyone who participates can enter the Zoo that day for the discounted price of $9 each. (Regular admission is $16 for adults and $13 for children ages 3-11).
