It’s nearly summer, but it’s not too late to plant a pollinator garden at your home. It’s important to keep in mind the variety of organisms that use your lawn or garden as a habitat, and to create some space on your property to assist them throughout their lifecycles.
Lilac has been a guest favorite at Seneca Park Zoo since her arrival in 1979, when she was approximately a year and a half old. Lilac is the smallest of our four female African elephants, weighing in at 7,200 pounds. What she lacks in size she most certainly makes up for in personality!
When Seneca Park Zoo’s oldest resident arrived in Rochester, Lyndon Johnson was President of the United States and a gallon of gasoline cost just 34 cents. Can you guess who it is and when she arrived?

Summer Programs at Seneca Park Zoo begin Memorial Day Weekend and run through Labor Day.
