Two of the Children's Zoo bats having a snack
Just in time for the new year, we’re starting a new program! Maybe you’ve brought your kids to Camp Zoofari, or attended a Safari School class with your preschooler. If you’ve ever wished there was a zoo class for you, you are in luck!
Our new Backyard Wildlife Series is for adults and teens, and offers an opportunity to learn about our native Texas wildlife, have a unique animal experience at the Zoo, make something for your feathered and furred neighbors, and contribute to conservation – all at the same time!
Each month the class will be themed around a project. Our first project, on January 9th, is a bat house. We’ll discuss the bats of Texas and visit the Children’s Zoo bat colony. And if bats aren’t your thing, we have a new project each month. Maybe frogs, butterflies, or hummingbirds are what you’re interested in – we have upcoming projects for those critters, too!
Registration is for up to 2 people, and each pair will take home a completed project. The proceeeds from this collaborative effort between the Children’s Zoo and the Education Department will be donated to a related Texas-based conservation organization.
If you are interested in learning more, or want to register, make sure to check out our Backyard Wildlife Series webpage. Hope to see you there!
This is such a great idea!
