Earth Day 2008 at The Tulsa Zoo
We celebrated Earth Day at The Tulsa Zoo this year and I can’t imagine a better place. Not only does The Tulsa Zoo keep a host of animals in very natural habitats (that’s one thing I’ve always liked about this zoo - the animals have plenty of room to roam and it’s obvious that the zoo goes to great measures to make sure that the animals are at home in their natural settings), but they also have a lot of different plant species in their natural habitats. To me, celebrating both plant and animal life is a great way to foster appreciation for our earth.
But they had a lot of extra features on Earth Day as well, including booths with earth-friendly messages and products. They were even giving beautiful pine trees away to zoo guests!
Not only that - but they had crafts for the kids, too. My daughter loves arts & crafts so she had a great time at this butterfly craft table:
Between the crafts, the festive earth-friendly spirit in the air, and the pure pleasure of visiting this zoo - it was truly a great Earth Day for our whole family.
a pine tree–now that’s the kind of gift that keeps on giving!
