[cobirds] Trip: THIS IS NOT YOUR GRANDPARENT'S ZOO ANYMORE

This is a fundraiser for non-profit Boulder County Audubon:

Thursday, June 23

Leaders:  Docents, CAROL MCCASLAND AND BRINDA HENLEY

2 SPOTS LEFT:  If you think zoos are just places to house animals, think again!  Zoos today are focusing on helping endangered animals by breeding selectively and by helping to conserve habitat in the field.   Exhibits are designed to give the visitor an 'immersive' experience as well as to better meet the animals' needs.   

We'll explore some award-winning exhibits as well as take a look back at some historic exhibit spaces dating from the early 1900's, seeing how those 'old' spaces can still be used today.  We'll take a stroll through the zoo highlighting some critically endangered animals, and talk about how YOU can help them in the wild.

A catered lunch and snacks will be provided.  $50 per person.  Limited to 12, with the participants splitting into two groups of 6 each. Meet at the northeast corner parking lot of the East Boulder Recreation Center (5660 Sioux Dr, Boulder, CO 80303), at 8 a.m., return approximately 3 p.m.
