First Annual Family Volunteer Day at the Elmwood Park Zoo

November 19th, 2016

Join the Elmwood Park Zoo for its first annual Family Volunteer Day! Family Volunteer Day is a yearly day of service that encourages families to work together in support of their local organizations. It promotes relationship building with each other and their communities while encouraging families to learn new skills and make new friends. It is a wonderful experience for children and adults alike!

Participation in this event is free but registration is required. Please contact the Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@elmwoodparkzoo.org or (610) 277-3825 x231 for more information.

Please note: All minors must be accompanied by at least one adult. For safety reasons, children under the minimum age requirement cannot attend the event.

Forest Festivities!

1pm-3pm
Ages 7 and up

Trees are a vital part of our planet’s health! All of the plants and animals that live in forests also contribute to the overall welfare of this world. Although humans are negatively impacting these habitats, there are things that you can do to make a difference. Volunteers will not only discover the importance of trees and protecting habitats, but also how to become more eco-friendly in their everyday actions. Each group will "upcycle" tree disks (or tree cookies as we like to call them) by creating ornaments that will be displayed at the EPZ through the holiday season! The zoo’s Horticulturalist will also teach volunteers how to age a tree based on its number of rings!
