The new Education & Conservation Center is officially PAID IN FULL! Thanks to the Ruth & William Merkey Foundation 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 fundraising 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.
