What's New This Week!

***NOTE Location and Start Time Change***

Meeting Location is at the Minnesota Zoo and Meeting Starts at 7:30am

 

SPEAKER:  Treetop Trail Visit at the Minnesota Zoom  

 

TOPIC:  Treetop Trail

Minnesota Zoo Arrival Instructions:

This is a reminder that we will be meeting in the Minnesota Zoo’s Education Events Center at 7:30 am on Wednesday, October 4th; here are arrival instructions:
  • Enter the Zoo grounds through the main driveway (13000 Zoo Boulevard should direct you there)
  • Turn left at the 4-way stop
  • Keep driving past all but the last parking lot entrances until you face the zoo buildings, then turn right to park in Dolphin lot (I recommend parking in the blue circled area as it is the closest to the EEC)
  • The meeting space will be on the left as you face the front of the zoo; walk to the left past the cinder block buildings down a short driveway, and you will see a sign for the Education Events Center.
A continental breakfast will be served. Zoo staff will be making a presentation before we have the chance to walk all or part of the Treetop Trail.  The trail is a 1.25 mile walking path that is elevated up to 32 feed above the ground.
