Zookeepers Don’t Just Clean Exhibits

Come join us to learn more about the Mickie Grove Zoo on Tuesday, February 11 @ 7:30pm.

Micke Grove Zoo is a five-acre zoo with amphibians, mammals, birds, reptiles and invertebrates.The zoo that exists today is very different from the zoo that first opened its gates in 1957. Today, the collection of Micke Grove Zoo emphasizes uniqueness and quality over size and quantity with a concentration on the welfare of the animal ambassadors that live here. Ms. Madeline Chester, Education and Interpretative Specialist will discuss “Zookeepers don’t just clean exhibits,” and yes there is Plenty to do! Let’s start with the education program for elementary school children & being the primary caregiver for these animals, fundraising and special events for the zoo, while also working on the Species Survival Plan program, providing care to the non releasable wildlife that call the zoo home and providing training for the zoo’s volunteer program. Madeline will discuss her job at the zoo and how full filling the work is.
