Community and Group Volunteers

Zoo Projects

We schedule volunteer days periodically that involve gardening, building, painting and repairs to animal exhibits. There is always a need for help around the zoo!

Paws On Volunteer Days (8am to 11am):  
June 8, 2024
August 10, 2024

Community Service and Local Organization Projects

We encourage community organizations to plan projects that will benefit the LPG&Z.
Then present the plan to the zoo director for approval.
Once approved, a date can be set for your group to implement your plan.
Some examples include Garden Club and Eagle Scout projects that enhance the zoo.
