Virginia Zoological Society (VZP)

Animal care for animals used in our educational programs. These programs include up close and personal behind the scenes tours of animal habitats and stage presentations featuring live animals which include messaging about conservation locally and around the world. Our education department provides informal and formal educational programs on grounds for visitors, as well as at schools, libraries and the community. Public and private events, birthday parties and programs are held on grounds throughout the year and often include live animal programming. These programs and other revenue generating activities on grounds make it possible for us to support and partner with other organizations to support their conservation work in the field.
