Recycle

By reusing many of the products already created--such as aluminum, glass, paper, and plastic--we can reduce energy consumption.

"Recycling glass instead of making it from silica sand reduces mining waste by 70%, water use by 50%, and air pollution by 20%. Source, Environmental Defense Fund."

We know that working directly with animals is not everyone's goal, so we have tailored programs that we feel will offer something for everyone.

  • Expedition Africa
  • Aviary
  • Landscaping
  • Gift Shop
  • Administrative Support
  • Greeter
  • Contact Yard
  • Kayaking
  • Education Animal Care
