Support

There are several ways you can help Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo accomplish its mission of conservation, education and fun! Support the Zoo today and help us share the wonders of animals and nature with the more than 280,000 visitors annually at the Zoo and around the state and region through our outreach efforts. All gifts 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.

​We are happy to announce that a baby golden lion tamarin (GLT) was born to mother Cricket and father Leão last month. Born fully furred with its eyes open, the baby spent its first weeks clinging to its mother's or father’s back. This new baby is an important part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA)’s Species Survival Plan (SSP), helping to preserve golden lion tamarins for future generations.

​
We are asking you to think of tomorrow today. Your support today can have a direct impact on the survival of species, such as the golden lion tamarin, for generations to come.
