Visit the Zoo today and learn how climate change is impacting polar bear populations, and how planting a tree can make a big difference and help reduce your carbon footprint. Guests will be given an event passport to get stamped at several education stations around the zoo.  There you will learn from experts, interactive biofacts and games how your actions can effect wildlife all around you and how you can make a difference by planting a tree. 

Trees work as carbon sinks, removing and storing the excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and repairing the balance of greenhouse gases.  Trees can also make oxygen, provide shade, beautify our land, grow food, and serve as a habitat for wildlife. A portion of ticket sales for the day will be allocated for the Trees 2020 program to help replace 200 trees in Roger Williams Park that came down over the last year due to two major storms. Join us and make a difference!

Event is free with Zoo admission. Rain date is March 11.
