FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION

To work within our community to create personal connections between people, animals and their shared environment.

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4B

Education & community relations - in 2021 our educational programming continued to be impacted by the covid-19 pandemic. Our school programs were significantly reduced and summer camps were run with smaller group sizes. We continued to provide virtual programming, and promoted our private tours. We continued our community outreach over social media. We conducted over 500 animal programs and/or tours for schools groups, corporate groups, and private groups. Over 250 children participated in our summer camps. Our outdoor animal exhibits are open to the public daily. Over 9000 visitors came to our public open hours on saturdays and sundays enjoying our indoor and outdoor exhibits with special presentations on the featured animal ambassador for the month.
