Alison and Doug first connected with the Zoo 30 years ago when they visited with their children! Now, they look forward to bringing their grandchildren.
They believe in our mission and understand the urgent need to help save the wild world. Alison and Doug shared, "Zoos give people a direct personal experience of wildlife that would be unavailable to most of us. Many people don't realize the extent to which wildlife is vanishing across the globe.”
Alison and Doug are passionate about the Zoo and the wildlife experiences we bring to our community’s "backyard", as well as fostering opportunities for children to learn about the world's animals. “The Zoo helps people of all ages and backgrounds, especially children, to understand how big and varied the population of Earth is and how precious our ecosystems are.”
During their behind-the-scenes tour, Alison and Doug marveled at meeting the tiger zoologists and learning about how they care for our incredible big cats. They also appreciate interacting with our smaller species, adding that “feeding the lorikeets is always a priority!”
Alison and Doug, thank you for being instrumental supporters of the Zoo of the Future, as well as the well-being and care of our giraffe initiative.
