Fecal Fest at Woodland Park Zoo
FOR 2012:
Spring Fecal Fest Entry period ended March 17. Successful lottery winners will be notified in April. (Pick ups scheduled April 13-29)
Fall Fecal Fest Entries can be submitted August 22 - September 9 (Pick ups scheduled September 22 through October 8)
Also available is Bedspread, a composted mulch made from the manures and bedding of the zoo’s non-primate herbivores. Bedspread is like Zoo Doo but contains higher amounts of wood chips and sawdust. It is excellent fertile mulch for perennial beds and woody landscapes such as native gardens, rose beds, shrubs, tree rings or pathways, and is an ideal mulch and soil builder for Northwest gardens.
When:
Dr. Doo accepts postcards or online submissions (see below for application link when applicable) for Zoo Doo or Bedspread on the announced dates in September and March only. Entries will be randomly selected according to supply and demand. Dr. Doo will contact the lucky drawn entries only. The Fecal Fest traditionally sells out.
The lucky winners load the compost using shovels provided by the zoo.
