TreeKeepers Wanted for Zoo Ozarks Greenways has scheduled a training session for people interested in becoming volunteer TreeKeepers. This group of volunteers will conduct an inventory of trees at Dickerson Park Zoo to establish a baseline of zoo trees in terms of numbers, health and maturity that will assist in tree management. Training classes will be at Dickerson Park Zoo. DPZ Reptile Keeper Working at the zoo can be fun in unexpected ways.
Employees walk the grounds in all seasons and at all times of day.
Birds and gibbons sing, lemurs screech, coyotes bark, and geese honk from overhead. Staff and visitors may be surprised to hear giant tortoises roar in warm weather. Rarest of all is to catch the soft, deep tones of alligators roaring in the rain. You must walk very quietly on the boardwalk to hear them. They are my favorite zoo voices.
