Join Reid Park Zoo in Celebrating Earth Day All Week Long!
Earth Day is April 22nd, which kicks off the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ (AZA’s) Party for the Planet! Reid Park Zoo is celebrating the home we all share with family-friendly activities throughout the week, from April 18th to April 23rd. We will highlight one of the activities listed below each evening the week of April 18-23 on our Facebook page. We invite you to do some or all of these activities and to share your pictures with us, either by emailing them to education@reidparkzoo.org or by posting them to our Facebook page.
Then join us virtually on April 24th from 10 am to 2 pm for live presentations over Zoom. We will learn what we can all do to protect our home as well as what Reid Park Zoo is doing to protect wild animals and wild places. Not able to join us live? No problem! All presentations will be recorded and posted on our YouTube channel. Registration is required for this FREE VIRTUAL EVENT. The schedule of presentations will be emailed to you after you register.
