More Information

The mission of the Potter Park Zoological Society is to support Potter Park Zoo and its mission to inspire people to conserve animals and the natural world. We strive to teach each visitor and participant in educational programs what they can do to conserve animals in the natural world – both worldwide and in their own backyard. Through our education and volunteer opportunities, we hope to instill a sense of ‘pride of ownership’ in the community by inviting individuals to participate in bettering the world around them.

FALCONERS: FALCONERS is designed to allow children or adults of all ages with special needs and unique challenges (such as autism or developmental disabilities) and their whole family to have an enriching educational experience in a safe and welcoming environment. There will be one event per month throughout 2020.

Zoo in Your Neighborhood: This program is designed to reach out to more members of our community and features either a live animal presentation or a "Reading with Animals" program.

FrogWatch USA: FrogWatch USA is a citizen science program aimed at training individuals, groups, and families to learn about wetlands in their community by listening for and identify native frog and toad species
