This April, Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo is calling on the community to join in celebrating Earth Day through its annual “Party for the Planet.” A series of engaging and educational activities are planned and designed to celebrate and inspire conservation action and appreciation for our planet’s incredible biodiversity.

April 19: The zoo invites the community to visit the Community Pollinator Garden in Beardsley Park as part of April's activities. Volunteers, guided by the zoo’s educational staff, will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on conservation action, aiding in the garden’s upkeep and learning about the importance of pollinators. The event is open to the public; registration is required.
