Four times a year we bring the Zoo to you virtually in our Living with Nature series. This series is designed specifically for middle school and high school students. We focus on four themes each year - green practices, animal welfare and biology, regional conservation, and international conservation. Each event include pre- and post-activities as well as an activity during the event itself. All events are recorded so you can participate in them live or do them at a later date. Registration is required for the live events.
Living with Nature is our free distance learning event series.
Step into our virtual classroom. We offer a variety of virtual programs that can meet your groups needs.
