Holiday Conservation
Go Green This Holiday Season! ✨🎄
The holidays are full of joy and giving—but they can also create a lot of waste. Let’s celebrate sustainably this year with these simple eco-friendly tips:
🎁 Wrap It Right: Choose eco-friendly wrapping paper, reusable fabric, or even newspaper for a unique touch!
🌲 Rent or Donate Your Tree: Rent a living tree or donate your used Christmas tree to a zoo (like NALZS in the future!) to provide enrichment for animals.
💡 Shine Efficiently: Switch to LED holiday lights—they use 75% less energy and last longer.
♻️ Gift Experiences: Opt for tickets, memberships, or homemade gifts instead of excess packaging.
🎄 Compost or Recycle: Turn holiday greenery into mulch or compost to give back to the earth.
Every little change helps protect wildlife and our environment. Let’s make this season brighter and greener for all! 🌟

Whooooo won our Giving Tuesday vote??? (That's a hint :-)
Who won the animal race? The first to cross the finish line? Or the animal that went the entire race moving like the appropriate animal (ribbit) ???
Our annual Kids Festival went off...with a hitch...but we recovered after rescheduling due to weather.
And the weather was good enough for our Pop-Up Animal Troupe to race against kids in attendance.
Who won? The first to cross the finish line? Or the animal that HOPPED the entire way???
