ZOO HIGHLIGHTS
Celebrate Earth Day at SF Zoo

Today is Earth Day (https://sfzoo.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=05b8326f4402b997fe7a097e3&id=6c3d4a79d4&e=7683a9aed3) and we are celebrating North American songbirds! Songbirds are passerines, or “perching birds,” and they help keep a proper balance in their ecosystem by feeding on insects, rodents and other small animals, while also serving as pollinators and dispersing seeds. SF Zoo is a perfect place to see a variety of native and migrating wild songbird species, such as sparrows, wrens, orioles and warblers and we want you to come out to seek out some of these beautiful animals. Our Interpretive Ambassadors will be out and about all weekend long to answer any questions you have. Be sure to bring binoculars and use our Songbird I.D. Guide (https://sfzoo.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=05b8326f4402b997fe7a097e3&id=4328280487&e=7683a9aed3) to identify the species your might see. Make sure to post your songbird photos on social media and tag us @sfzoo (https://sfzoo.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=05b8326f4402b997fe7a097e3&id=40c9e245c6&e=7683a9aed3) !
Long-Time Zoo Docent Receives Jefferson Award
We are proud to announce that Gail Secchia (yes, the “Gail” from Gail’s Fragrance Garden!), who has been a part of the Zoo family for more than 35 years, is one of the recipients of the 2022 Jefferson Award! For the past 17 years, the KPIX Jefferson Award has celebrated extraordinary service to others performed by grassroots unsung heroes from the San Francisco Bay Area. Each year, five individuals are chosen after a nomination process, and awarded this prestigious honor.

Gail, an avid gardener and educator, found her niche working in the Zoo’s horticulture department for many years; sharing her passion with millions of people. She became a dedicated Docent volunteer, a generous Zoo donor and served as a member of the Zoological Society’s Board of Directors. In 2018, Gail’s Fragrance Garden was founded, a tranquil and immersive sensory and fragrance garden featuring native California plant and flower species. KPIX/CBS5 featured Gail in a recent newscast. You can see the segment here. (https://sfzoo.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=05b8326f4402b997fe7a097e3&id=760a23b9f4&e=7683a9aed3)

Did you know that the Aldabra tortoise is the second largest species of tortoise in the world? These beautiful creatures, found on the Aldabra Island, north of Madagascar, can weigh up to 550 pounds and grow up to 4 feet long. Our male and female currently reside at the Family Farm, which we hope to open soon.
