The Hattiesburg Zoo will celebrate Earth Day on Saturday, April 22nd from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Earth Day is an annual event that demonstrates support for environmental protection. First held on April 22, 1970, Earth Day now includes a wide range of events coordinated globally by more than 1 billion people in more than 193 countries.
“One of our primary missions at the Zoo is that of Conservation, which we work toward every day,” said Jeremy Cumpton, Director of Conservation, Education and Wildlife. “Our Earth Day activities aim to educate our guests about the steps they can take to improve our world”.
Hattiesburg Zoo’s Earth Day activities will include interactive education stations throughout the zoo where guests will learn more about the animals that live there, their habitats and how they can participate in conservation efforts. There will also be animal encounters and enrichment activities throughout the day as well as special enrichment for animals.
Regular Zoo admission prices apply for Earth Day activities, and Annual Passes do apply.
