The Topeka Zoo will host an Earth Day event on Saturday, April 18, giving the community a chance to learn more about conservation and the environment. The event will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is open to visitors of all ages.

Zoo staff and local organizations will provide activities and information focused on protecting natural resources and wildlife. Guests can take part in hands-on learning stations, watch demonstrations, and talk with experts about ways to help the environment in everyday life. The event will also include opportunities to learn about the animals at the zoo and how their habitats are protected. Families can explore the exhibits while taking part in special Earth Day activities throughout the day.

Organizers say the goal of the event is to raise awareness about environmental issues and encourage simple actions people can take to make a difference. The Earth Day celebration offers a way for the community to come together and focus on conservation.
