Ready...Set...Recycle!

by Lee Richardson Zoo

Trash; it’s everywhere! What impacts does it have? How can we reduce its negative impacts on our planet? We’ll answer these questions, and more, in this engaging program. Students will meet 2-3 Ambassador Animals as they explore the impact trash has and devise a way to reduce how much trash they make in a day. The Lee Richardson Zoo's Distance Learning Studio offers a multitude of environmental programs to students all over the nation. Our programs include 2-4 live animals. However, we are currently unable to give programs from actual exhibits around the zoo.
