<strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Vilas</strong> Park <strong>Zoo</strong>logical Society<br />

Annual Report 2009-2010


hared Vision<br />

The <strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Vilas</strong> <strong>Zoo</strong> and Friends of the <strong>Zoo</strong> are committed to Strengthening the Bond of<br />

its visitors with the natural world and the animal kingdom.<br />

Another wonderful year! Over 700,000<br />

visitors enjoyed your <strong>Zoo</strong>.<br />

Earth Day, our first major event of the year,<br />

brought visitors together to learn about and<br />

enjoy conserving our natural resources. Over<br />

4,000 trees were given out to be planted as<br />

part of a ‘Polar Bear Forest’, an initiative to<br />

help reduce the harmful effects of global<br />

climate change sponsored by our partners: the<br />

Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources<br />

and Polar Bears International.<br />

Our new Education Garden, Wetland Walkway<br />

and Wetland Viewing Deck are terrific<br />

additions. Visitors view over thirty species of<br />

plants that are grown as food for your animals,<br />

including cherries, pears, willow, bamboo and<br />

many garden vegetables.<br />

We continued our efforts to conserve energy<br />

and use our successes to inspire visitors. Our<br />

newest initiatives, rain water collection and<br />

rain gardens, are excellent examples of easy to<br />

do conservation projects. Rain water recovered<br />

from the roof of our Rain Forest is used to water<br />

our tropical plants. Each gallon recovered saves<br />

us two gallons of water that would have been<br />

run through our reverse osmosis system.<br />

Conservation Education continues to be our<br />

greatest and longest running program. <strong>Zoo</strong><br />

School, Bleacher Programs, Off site Programs<br />

and Animal Ambassadors help connect over<br />

forty thousand participants with the wonders<br />

of our natural world. Many many thanks to our<br />

dedicated Conservation Education Volunteers.<br />

Giraffe, Bison, Great Ape and Meerkat animal<br />

exhibits and their replica habitats have been<br />

significantly improved. Seeing animals enjoy a<br />

newly constructed exhibit is a great reward.<br />

New additions to our animal collection<br />

included four female meerkats, two Geoffroy<br />

marmosets, two sugar gliders, a fairy blue bird<br />

and doves. Your <strong>Zoo</strong> participates in seventeen<br />

animal management Species Survival Plans<br />

administered by the AZA (Association of <strong>Zoo</strong>s<br />

& Aquariums). These programs are dedicated<br />

to the sustainability of both wild and captive<br />

animal populations.<br />

Plans for the Arctic Passage have been<br />

completed. County Executive Kathleen Falk has<br />

included funding for this project in the 2011<br />

County Budget and construction could begin in<br />

the coming year. A new Children’s <strong>Zoo</strong> Barn is<br />

nearing completion and will open in the Spring.<br />

Your wonderful support helps <strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Vilas</strong> <strong>Zoo</strong><br />

continually improve. It is a great privilege to<br />

lead your dedicated staff and volunteers. Thank<br />

you! Come visit your <strong>Zoo</strong> often.<br />

Sharing the Legacy through<br />

Conservation and Education<br />

Over 30,000 children attended annual<br />

education programs and thousands more<br />

visited the <strong>Zoo</strong> for class field trips.<br />

What’s New?<br />

We have added a new Conservation Education<br />

Animal Ambassador cart on honeybees. It<br />

complements the observational beehive that is<br />

in the Discovery Center, and is maintained by<br />

the Dane County Beekeepers Association.<br />

<strong>Zoo</strong> Summer School<br />

Once again, we were filled to capacity within<br />

the first few weeks of advertising the classes...<br />

300+ children paid to get “up close and<br />

personal” with your zoo animals. The keepers<br />

and teaching staff for summer school did an<br />

excellent job – as they always do – enriching<br />

children’s lives with education animals in the<br />

classroom, and your zoo animals on<br />

the grounds.<br />

Scholarship Program<br />

The Friends of the <strong>Zoo</strong> Scholarship was<br />

split amongst three research projects for the<br />

University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary<br />

Medicine Students this year! Allison Gutwillig,<br />

Christine Molter and Lauren Schneider were<br />

recipients of this year’s scholarship. Their<br />

research projects varied from working with<br />

local birds to studying sea turtles off the coast<br />

of North and South Carolina.<br />

The Friends of the <strong>Zoo</strong>’s trademark events again delighted tens of thousands of visitors this<br />

year while raising funds for the <strong>Zoo</strong> Century renovation plans.<br />

Green & Gold Training Camp 2009<br />

The <strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Vilas</strong> <strong>Zoo</strong> was fortunate enough to<br />

have Physicians Plus Insurance Corporation<br />

present Green and Gold Training Camp on zoo<br />

grounds for the 3rd year in a row. On Saturday,<br />

July 18, 2009 Green Bay’s Donald Driver and<br />

Edgar Bennett led a mini-training camp for kids<br />

ages 5-12. Each participant jumped, jacked<br />

and ran with the pros, and 10 lucky kids won a<br />

regulation football personally autographed by<br />

each player! To learn more about Physicians Plus<br />

and their GO! Get Out campaign, visit them<br />

online at www.pplusic.com.<br />

The <strong>Zoo</strong> Run Run<br />

The 4th Annual <strong>Zoo</strong> Run Run was another<br />

successful event! Event participation increased<br />

by 50% and over 1,350 participants joined us<br />

for the 5K Run/Walk and 10K Run benefiting<br />

the <strong>Zoo</strong>. Town Bank enjoyed sponsoring the<br />

similarly successful Roo Run Run with nearly<br />

300 little ones who ran, hopped and skipped to<br />

the finish line here in the <strong>Zoo</strong>.<br />

Halloween at the <strong>Zoo</strong><br />

Associated Bank presented Halloween at<br />

the <strong>Zoo</strong> for the third consecutive year on<br />

a beautiful sunny fall day. They took great<br />

pleasure in seeing nearly 13,000 princesses,<br />

superheroes, kid-wizards, and other costumed<br />

guests come out to enjoy the festivities… that’s<br />

2,000 more than the previous year! As they<br />

tricked and treated, kids were surrounded by<br />

animal encounters, keeper talks, and festive<br />

decorations. There were 14 Treat Stops along<br />

the route, live music, bounce castles, and FREE<br />

carousel rides all day!

hare Your Legacy through Planned Giving<br />

Your donations help to keep your <strong>Zoo</strong> fOREVER fREE fOR EVERYONE.<br />

As the <strong>Zoo</strong> approaches its <strong>100</strong> th anniversary,<br />

the <strong>Zoo</strong> Century renovations will put us in a<br />

position to ensure another <strong>100</strong> years of this<br />

wonderful community resource.<br />

By including the Friends of the <strong>Zoo</strong> in estate<br />

planning and planned giving, donors realize<br />

a host of tax advantages while helping ensure<br />

that the <strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Vilas</strong> <strong>Zoo</strong> continues to thrive for<br />

generations to come.<br />

Ways to Give:<br />

Gifts to the Endowment are one of the best<br />

ways to provide enduring support. Because<br />

endowments exist in perpetuity, donors and<br />

their families can enjoy the emotional rewards<br />

of these funds for generations to come.<br />

Tributes and Memorials provide a meaningful<br />

way to honor a special person or event while<br />

supporting the conservation, education and<br />

outreach efforts of the <strong>Zoo</strong>.<br />

Matching Gifts allow individuals to give twice<br />

as much by having their employer match their<br />

pledged amount.<br />

Bequests can be as simple as naming the <strong>Henry</strong><br />

<strong>Vilas</strong> <strong>Zoo</strong> in your will. For example, “I hereby<br />

give, devise, and bequeath to the <strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Vilas</strong><br />

Park <strong>Zoo</strong>logical Society the amount of $___ for<br />

its exempt purposes.” A bequest can consist<br />

of property, securities, real estate, cash or<br />

anything else of value.<br />

Charitable Trusts have many advantages. This<br />

versatile planned gift allows for an immediate<br />

charitable tax deduction and continues to earn<br />

income for the rest of the donor’s life.<br />

Corporate Partnerships allow companies to<br />

make significant financial contributions, while<br />

receiving a variety of benefits like tax breaks,<br />

increased visibility and more.<br />

<strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Vilas</strong> Annual fund is vital to the <strong>Zoo</strong>’s<br />

survival. Because these gifts are unrestricted,<br />

the fund can be used to meet some of the <strong>Zoo</strong>’s<br />

most critical needs.<br />

For all donations, bequests and charitable<br />

gifts to the Friends of the <strong>Zoo</strong>, the proper legal<br />

designation is as follows:<br />

<strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Vilas</strong> Park <strong>Zoo</strong>logical Society, Inc.<br />

606 S. Randall Ave.<br />

Madison, WI 53715<br />

Tax Identification Number 39-6077008<br />

If you are considering leaving a legacy at<br />

the <strong>Zoo</strong>, you can contact the Friends of<br />

the <strong>Zoo</strong> office at (608) 258-9490 for any<br />

additional information.<br />

From all the animals great and small at the<br />

<strong>Henry</strong> <strong>Vilas</strong> <strong>Zoo</strong>, thank you for your generous<br />

support. You are helping sustain the legacy of<br />

the living world at our wonderful, free <strong>Zoo</strong>.<br />
