ALMetro360 July 2018

90 AL/ Metro 360 www.almetro360.com July 21 ANIMAL ENRICHMENT DAY Montgomery Zoo From zoo animals to our pets at home and even including us, we all need enrichment. A chance to smell a new scent. Taste a new flavor. Play a new game or figure out a puzzle. Enrichment is an effort to tap into and stimulate our basic five senses: touch, sight, smell, taste and hear. The result is to stimulate behaviors resem- bling those for that species in a wild. It is a lot of trial and error, but it is always fun. 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Contact: 334.240.4900.

Volunteer commitment has allowed our Zoo to improve, expand programs, generate community in- volvement and support, and assist Zoo staff in daily Zoo opera- tions. We are picking a single day to gather volunteer groups to accomplish several tasks in preparing the Montgomery Zoo for summer season. We are asking volunteers to help with landscap- ing, trimming bushes, planting flowers, raking leaves, painting, and overall prepping the Zoo for the summer season. It will be a great opportunity for those people that volunteer their time and energy to give back to the City of Montgomery Zoo and the River Region community.
