Conservation Days

Conservation Days at the Salisbury Zoo

Conservation Days at the Zoo are free, Saturday celebrations that highlight the incredible animals who call our zoo home and the conservation efforts that help protect them. Each Conservation Day is unique, focusing on either a SAFE program we participate in or a special animal we want to spotlight. Guests can enjoy keeper talks, special enrichment, educational presentations, hands-on games, crafts, and more, while also having the opportunity to support conservation by donating directly to the featured animal program and helping protect these species in the wild.

Backyard Bird Count February 13th-16th

The Great Backyard Bird Count is a global community science project that invites people of all ages to help scientists learn more about bird populations around the world. By spending just 15 minutes or more observing birds and reporting what you see or hear, participants contribute valuable data used to support bird conservation. This year we will not be hosting an on-site event at the zoo. Instead, we’ll be sharing resources, tips, and tools to help you safely participate from home or in your neighborhood, making it easy to join in and support birds right from your own backyard.
