Testimonials

“My love of animals and of educating people keeps me coming back to the Zoo year after year.”

 Beth Anderson, Docent

“I LOVE animals and care deeply about animal conservation. I once heard, “You can’t protect what you don’t love. And you can’t love what you don’t know. ” This is why I’m a docent. Because oftentimes people don’t know what’s going on in the animal world, and we, as docents, are given the opportunity to teach and connect with the guests so they can learn, love, and protect our animals too.”

Laura Gross, Docent
