Funds support programs such as Zoomobile which brings Zoo animals to schools, hospitals, senior citizen homes, and community centers throughout the state of Minnesota, reaching more than 57,000 people annually. Funds support conservation projects in Minnesota, including work on behalf of Minnesota's prairie butterflies, moose, mussels, and bison. And, the Foundation funds extraordinary guest experiences at the Zoo, connecting people of all ages with wild animals and the natural world. The Zoo embraces diversity and inclusion to ensure that all Zoo experiences are available to all people. | Desc |
