12 Days to support GVZQ Rain Forest

Grand Valley Zoological Quest teaming with MyActions.org to RECYCLE FOR THE RAINFOREST!

Take a walk. Turn off a light. How do you recycle?

Tell Zoo Quest on MyActions.org and you can help the Earth, and you help build the GVZQ Rain Forest locally.

Beginning Dec, 1^st and ending Dec. 13^th, share your action of recycling, saving power, walking, biking, on the MyActions.org website and earn funding points for the Zoo!

This quick 12-day campaign will raise funds while you’re taking actions toward helping the planet at the same time. Go to MyActions.org for examples of what counts for points. 

Join GVZooQuest.org to build a Rain Forest zoological nature center in Fruita.

Donate all day Dec. 4 to www.gvzooquest.org

Fruita Chamber Matters

Even in the cold months things are happening with the Zoo Quest. We are members of the Fruita Chamber of Commerce, and tonight they had a weekly meeting. Next week they plan to send out their Chamber Matters newsletter.
Here is an example of our pages of appreciation to the Chamber and Community of Fruita for all their support this September and October. (Oops, technical difficulties. I'll try again tomorrow.) Stay tuned.

Zoo Traveling last month

Over Fall Break I had the opportunity to tour behind the scenes one of the oldest and biggest zoos in Seattle, Washington.
Woodland Park Zoo

That's my boys and my daughter-in-law at the entrance to 92 acres of exotic animal fun.

We are trying to get enough funds to build our own Zoological Center here in the Grand Valley of Western Colorado. We are going to be much smaller, but everyone starts small.
The nicest people took us behind the enclosures and into the commissary, animal hospital, and workshops to show us how they build and maintain the zoo. 

Of course it rained. . . It's Seattle, where it rains nine months out of the year, but we still enjoyed our visit inside and out of the Woodland Park Zoo.
You have to see at least two pictures of the animals.

This little Red Panda was hurt, so he was in the animal hospital.





This male jaguar looked relaxed as a wire wound too tight.

Look for more pictures next week.
