There are several ways you can help Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo accomplish its mission of conservation, education and family recreation. By supporting the Connecticut Zoological Society (CZS), you help us share the wonders of animals and nature with the more that 250,000 visitors annually both at the Zoo and around the state and region through our outreach efforts. All gifts to the Society are greatly appreciated and go a long way toward saving wildlife and protecting wild places.
The Society’s Development Department coordinates and plans the Zoo’s fundraising efforts. The Department identifies individuals, corporations, foundations and organizations who care about the mission of Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo. Contributions of cash, stocks, in-kind, and planned gifts result in enhanced animal exhibits, expanded educational programming, important conservation and breeding efforts, additional visitor services, and the long-term sustainability of the Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo. The Development Department also ensures that all CZS fundraising efforts comply with applicable ethical and non-profit standards. |

Help Us Get Our Ducks in a Row
The Zoo’s Farmyard is a special place. Beloved by children, especially the littlest ones, the animals there represent a treasured part of American life. Goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep, along with miniature horses, are some of the first animals that children learn about and grow to love.
The Zoo’s Farmyard, built in the 1970s, was part of a different era in animal habitats and conservation. Built for ease of upkeep then, we have an opportunity today to create a 21st century space designed for education and conservation.
With your support everything is possible.
Farmyard renovations have begun! New habitat space will showcase heritage breed animals — breeds that were perfect for a small family farm in the past but are rapidly disappearing from the landscape.
With a very generous donation from Wheels in the Woods, the Zoo will reconstruct and reconfigure all pathways, outposts and play areas to ensure safe and traversable access for children and adults of all abilities. And for every dollar you donate today, Wheels in the Woods will match it dollar for dollar, up to $100,000!
For the love of the Farmyard, please consider making a tax-deductible donation today, and ask your friends to do the same.
