Our Story
AAZK is dedicated to advancing animal care, promoting public awareness, enhancing professional development and contributing to local and global conservation through fundraising and stewardship. Our goal is to inspire and motivate through our roles as animal caregivers, educators and conservationists. Through workshops, conferences, newsletters, and internet forums, AAZK helps animal care staff stay current in husbandry, training, nutrition, and conservation. Well educated keepers using modern techniques means the animals in their care benefit tremendously.
Our chapter consists of keepers, volunteers, vet techs, and other interested people from the following NC facilities:
North Carolina Zoological Park- Greensboro Science Center - Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation - Rowan Wild
