A Snowy Day at the Zoo

Even on the chilliest and snowiest days of the year, you'll find animals outside and enjoying the winter weather here at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. The Northern Trek area of the Zoo is home to quite a few of our cold-climate species, including grizzly bears, reindeer and tigers.
Lonnie Timmons III, a videographer at The Plain Dealer, stopped by the Zoo last week to check out some of our winter-loving animals experiencing a particularly snowy day in Cleveland. His video captures scenes of Mexican gray wolves running through the snow, harbor seals swimming in their pool and a polar bear catching a nap in a bed of snow.
So don't let the snow scare you off! Bundle up and visit the Zoo this winter. Admission is discounted through March 31 to just $7 per person, $5 for kids ages 2 to 11 and free for children under 2 and Zoo members. See you soon!
Congratulations Nancy Hughes!

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is proud to announce that Nancy Hughes, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo's Composting and Recycling Coordinator, was selected as a Champion of Sustainability Award winner by Entrepreneurs for Sustainability, also known as E4S. E4S is a network of over 7000 leaders who are putting the principles of sustainability to work for their businesses and the northeastern Ohio region. Eight winners were chosen from among 55 nominations to include the most inspiring, highest impact, easily translatable stories. Nancy was presented the award on November 17, 2009 at the Seventh Annual E4S Champions of Sustainability awards ceremony for developing an outstanding recycling and composting program at the Zoo. Cleveland Metroparks also benefits by getting a free annual membership to E4S, so now employees can attend E4S events at a discount. Thanks to Nancy's dedication to waste reduction and the conservation of resources, we are all more inspired to implement sustainability in our daily lives.
