2016 Cornerstone Animal Hospital & Recovery Center Project Update
Please consider making a donation to help us accomplish our goal!!
The FINAL phase is near of the Cornerstone Animal Hospital!!! The Society has raised over $1M of the $1.5 million goal in pledges, monetary and in-kind donations, and services. Equipment purchase and installation will take place over the next two years, to be complete at the end of 2018.
This project is designed to improve the quality of veterinary care for the animals at the Zoo and at the same time enhance the experience of the Zoo visitors. Educational opportunities involving the Animal Hospital will be expanded in frequency and scope, and new educational media will be placed by the viewing windows of the new kitchen. These changes are essential to meeting the high standards of care for the animal collection and maintaining AZA accreditation.
Thank You to our Cornerstone Animal Hospital Donors

The Education & Conservation Center is Paid In Full!
The new Education & Conservation Center is officially PAID IN FULL! Thanks to the Ruth & William Merkey Foundation for making the final payment on their 3 year pledge for this building early, we were able to pay off our debt ahead of schedule!
We are thankful to everyone that supported our fund-raising efforts. The Center has been filled with activity. Students of all ages have walked through the doors to have valuable, hands-on learning experiences and increase their knowledge of the natural world and a variety of conservation issues.
We are proud to share this new facility with our valued zoo guests, and confident that we have already made a difference and sparked a new appreciation for wildlife in the hearts of many.
Conservation Grant Program
The NEW Zoo & Adventure Park and N.E.W. Zoological Society no longer accept applications for conservation grants.
Due to the zoo’s involvement in SAFE: Saving Animals From Extinction, we contribute funds only to SAFE-approved projects. For more information about SAFE and our other conservation initiatives, please visit our Conservation page.
