What better way to celebrate Earth Day than with the planet’s amazing and diverse wildlife? Join us in April as we celebrate Party for the Planet and Earth Day! Our annual Earth Day celebration features interpretive talks about many of the Zoo’s conservation initiatives, and how you can get involved with many Citizen Scientist programs throughout the state. Plans also include a cleanup in Beardsley Park.
See below for our schedule of events! |
Schedule of Events
Sunday, April 10 - Pequonnock River Clean-up
Up to 50 individuals each day can sign up to help the Zoo clean up Beardsley Park. The clean up in the park will be held from 9:30am-12:00pm each day. We will supply gloves, trash bags, paper pickers and companionship: you bring your energy, face mask and desire to help clean up the earth! Families are welcome. This is a great opportunity for students who need service hours.
As our thanks for being part of the clean-up crew, everyone who participates can enter the Zoo that day for the discounted price of $9 each. (Regular admission is $17 for adults and $14 for children ages 3-11).

City Nature Challenge
City Nature Challenge 4/29-5/2
Invented by community science staff at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (Lila Higgins) and California Academy of Sciences (Alison Young). The City Nature Challenge is an international effort for people to find and document plants and wildlife in cities across the globe. It’s a bioblitz-style competition where cities are in a contest against each other to see who can make the most observations of nature, who can find the most species, and who can engage the most people. To learn more and get involved, visit here or check out The Maritime Aquarium's website.
