Happy Zookeeper Appreciation Week to our incredible team here at WLC! Our team is made up of 13 biologists who are dedicated to providing the best care to the over 100 animals at our sanctuary. We truly would not be able to do what we do without this amazing team. Not only do our staff provide daily husbandry, enrichment, and medical care, but they also share their love for animals through our many educational programs. Being a Zookeeper is not an easy job, but they work long hours, show up rain or shine and during holidays, while still giving it their all.

A big THANK YOU to our team members for all their hard work, dedication, and love that they provide to all the animals. And thank you for inspiring the next generation! 👏🏼
