Limited Opportunity for Grant-Funded Zoo Programs!


Would you like to have your class participate in a FREE zoo program?  We have 2 program offerings available that are funded by a generous grant from HSBC Bank.  Programs are aligned with the NYS and Common Core Learning Standards.  

1.  I Love Nature: An introduction to our natural world
Outreach Program for grades Pre-K -1st

Young children are introduced to the wonders of nature and encouraged to safely and respectfully explore the outdoors. Basic concepts of natural interrelationships and their own role in nature are discussed. One half of the program is spent outdoors exploring the environment, after which their “discoveries” are discussed indoors. This program also includes one live animal ambassador. 

To register for this grant-funded Zoomobile program (presented at your school), please call (716) 995-6123 or email rsanecki@buffalozoo.org


2.  Conservation Investigators 
Onsite School Program at the Zoo for grades 5-8

How do scientists save endangered species? Students will become Conservation Team Investigators to uncover reasons why animals are endangered and to find out how research can help protect species. Use tools of a field biologist to learn how they find clues to locate animals in the wild. They will then visit Ecostation, the Zoo's modern research field station exhibit, and investigate conservation issues!
The grant funds cover the cost of the class and Zoo admission for your group.
