You can make a difference - 1 quarter at a time!

The Quarters for Conservation program started by the Friends of the Charles Paddock Zoo in November of 2018. Each year, three non-profit organizations are chosen by zoo's staff based on need, location of work, species of focus and other criteria. During your visit to the zoo, you may opt to purchase one or more tokens for only one quarter each. You then have an opportunity to choose which organization you wish to donate your quater to. In 2019, over 3000 dollars were raised for conservation - one quarter at a time! The three projects listed below are the ones we are currently collecting donations for.
