Thanks to Zoo New England!

Big thanks to the Franklin Park Zoo for the very generous donation of zoo passes for the Franklin Park Coalition Team to use at upcoming events and raffles. The zoo staff is also kind enough to provide us with meeting space for our February 16 meeting and pizza lunch.

If you haven't been to the zoo in awhile, you need to check it out! The zoo is comprised of 72 acres of animal habitats, nestled in Franklin Park. The zoo opened in 1912 and has just finished a year-long centennial celebration. 

Visit the website or call 617-541-LION for hours and information. More importantly...get out there and explore!
