CELEBRATE NATIONAL WILDLIFE WEEK!

National Wildlife Week, National Wildlife Federation’s, longest running education event, is coming up March 15-21. Celebrate by making a difference in the life of a child and helping them to appreciate wildlife.

Studies show that spending time learning and playing outdoors boosts children’s health, creativity, and builds a conservation ethic. That’s why National Wildlife Week is part of National Wildlife Federation’s Be Out There movement to return to children what they don’t even know they’ve lost: a connection to the natural world.

What are we doing at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo?
Our largest program is our Quarters for Conservation program. It is an exciting initiative to greatly enhance our wildlife conservation work. Through the collection of quarters, we’ll provide funding for new and existing wildlife conservation projects. This program provides an opportunity to engage our staff and our community in the effort while also significantly expanding our contribution to wildlife conservation in our region and around the globe.

Working with students? Bring your class to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo for a one-of-a-kind educational experience. From in-depth tours to Zookeeper interviews, and Zoo overnights to in-school programs, we have something to satisfy the learner in everyone and connect your students to the WILD. Go on a safari led by an expert docent, work with the Zoo to customize your own tour, or get some face time with a Zookeeper.
