Zoological Society
|
|
The Wildwood Zoological Society was formed in 1972. For the
past thirty-seven years, the Zoo Society has planned, funded, and
provided volunteers for most of the programming and events that took
place at the zoo. This year alone, the Zoo Society sponsored
several education programs that cost over $3,600. This
included the Spring Education Programs as well as the popular summer
program, Wild Wednesdays.
The Zoo Society has several major fundraisers per year to help
raise money for the zoo. Hoot in the Zoo (June), Blues in the Zoo
(August), Trick or Treating (October) and Pancake Breakfasts and
Spaghetti Dinners (various dates) are some of the events where you can
thank and support Zoo Society members.
The Wildwood Park Zoological Society works with the Parks and
Recreation Department of the City of Marshfield to continue
improvement and expansion of the zoo.
