Wildlife Action Crew

A program for teens interested in animals and conservation.

Wildlife Action Crew is for teenagers interested in animals and conservation. Teens conduct a conservation case study, learning about and discussing a conservation issue, animals that are affected, and what is being done to help.  They will select an action that addresses the conservation issue and work in groups to create a campaign to promote their message. This is a six-week program that is offered multiple times throughout the school year. This program happens at the Zoo. For more information about our safety procedures and cancellation policy, please see our FAQs for educational programs at the Zoo.
