Join Reid Park Zoo for a Party for the Planet! From 9 a.m. – noon, learn about the conservation efforts the Zoo supports around the world, as well as in southern Arizona. Talk to local conservation partners about their work in our community and how you can make everyday choices to help wild animals and wild places right here around Tucson. Reduce clothing going to the landfill by bringing unwanted clothes with you to the Zoo for a clothing drive hosted by Goodwill Industries of Southern Arizona.

During the event:

• Enjoy Keeper Chats and docent stations
• Participate in a Zoo-wide BioBlitz using iNaturalist from 10 a.m. – noon
• Make native wildflower seed balls to take home (while supplies last)
• Enter for a chance to win a native plant from Nighthawk Natives Nursery (drawing at 11 a.m.)
• Purchase a Go Green kit from Reid Park Zoo’s Zoo Crew teen volunteer program to help you “go green”
• Visit the Tucson chapter of the American Association of Zookeepers table to check out Zoo animal stickers for sale
• Donate clothes to the Goodwill Industries of Southern Arizona clothing drive
