Here's what you need to know about your volunteer day at the Zoo:
Arrive at 9:00am and proceed to the plaza in front of the Zoo. Someone will be there to meet you. That will give us enough time to get you checked in and to your assignment for a 9:30 am start.
Park in the Zoo's parking lot. Parking is free.
Dress in casual clothes. All volunteers must wear closed toed shoes. Please bring a refillable water bottle. We do our best to help the environment by not providing water in plastic bottles. Please bring sunscreen if needed.
Make sure to bring your completed, signed Group Volunteer Waiver and Release Form on each volunteer (see attachment). These will be collected when you arrive.
Please plan on working until 12:00pm. If you are planning on having lunch, please know the Zoo may or may not have any open food concessions. It is based on weather and attendance. But there are picnic tables just outside the Zoo if you want to bring a bag lunch, or a couple of fast food restaurants near the Zoo.
Project: Substrate Change. Volunteers will be shoveling substrate material (i.e. sand, mulch, or limestone) and/or pushing wheelbarrows. (Tools will be provided by the Zoo).
