Planning is now year round and we want your input!
National Zoo Keeper Week 2013
was a HUGE success at the Bronx Zoo! The weeklong event included:
Keeper profiles
featuring peer-nominated keepers from around The Bronx Zoo animal departments
that were displayed in the Executive Dining Room during the week.
Keeper chats in
front of the animal exhibits presented by keepers and featuring either
enrichment demos or detailed animal talks.
Member’s Night informational table
included “Dress Like a Keeper,” enrichment creation station, and coloring
pages. Keepers were on hand to explain to the public what they do with the WCS
at work every day and what NYC AAZK does year round.
A Silent auction was
held in the Executive Dining Room during the week and raised over $1,000 for
NYC AAZK to continue holding events and fundraisers into 2014. Thank you to all
who donated to the auction and those who bid on items!
