Celebrate World Wetlands Day with keeper talks and activities at the Oregon Zoo!
Countless plants and creatures—including humans—are dependent on wetlands for survival, and our everyday actions can impact their health.
Wildlife experts from the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Forest Service will be in the Nature Exploration Station with fun wetland-themed educational activities. Learn about how beavers shape our wetlands, why salmon survival depends on cool, clean waters, and see our “ancient neighbor,” the Pacific lamprey—a recent addition to the Oregon Zoo!
