HOW YOUR GIFT WORKS

 

Your gifts keep our animals thriving with individualized diets packed with love...and science.

From carnivores to herbivores, newborns to geriatric animals, our animal keepers and veterinarians work together with nutritionists to create customized, healthy diets for nearly 1,000 animals at Woodland Park Zoo.


 

 

“Lettuce” Talk About Inflation

We know that people across our community are feeling the strain of rising food costs. This makes any gift you can give to help feed these animals even more special and appreciated. While we are all working hard to cut expenses where we can, our animals need a quality, varied diet to thrive. Thank you for opening your hearts and giving the gift of nutrition this season!

In 2021, one carton of romaine lettuce = $26.
In 2022, one carton of romaine lettuce = $88.
This is a 239% price increase.
