CSWEA

Come spend the afternoon at the Henry Vilas Zoo and work alongside other CSWEA volunteers! The Henry Vilas Zoo is one of the few free Zoos across the country with staff and supporters dedicated to conserving and protecting the wonders of the natural living world. The Vilas family donated the land on which the Zoo stands in 1904 and is named after the Vilas’ son, Henry, who passed away at a young age. The family stipulated the park be free to the public and has been enjoyed by Madison locals and tourists alike for over 100 years. We will be working with the Zoo’s horticulturist and help with planting, weeding, mulching, and other tasks for the day.
Materials and tools will be provided. Be sure to wear closed toe shoes and clothing appropriate for outdoor work. Bring a reusable water bottle to fill. For more information about this year’s project, contact Rahim Ansari at ransari@msa-ps.com.
