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 />
