Students in the Erie 1 BOCES Zoo, Wildlife, and Conservation Careers program are finishing up their time at the Zoo!

Recently, students completed one of their major presentations: designing and creating a scale model of their own Zoo exhibits. They also took part in a Delta Sonic Heritage Farm relay race, involving tasks like food prep and exhibit maintenance.

We could not be more grateful for this incredible partnership with Erie 1 BOCES to help inspire the next generation of conservationists, and we wish this year's students the best of luck in their future endeavors!
