Lake Superior Zoo Chapter of the AAZK

AAZK Mission:
Mission Statement: The mission of The American Association of Zoo Keepers is to advance excellence in the animal keeping profession, foster effective communication beneficial to animal care, support deserving conservation projects, and promote the preservation of our natural resources and animal life.

The Lake Superior Zoo Chapter of AAZK (The American Association of Zoo Keepers) is a group of dedicated zookeepers and animal lovers devoted to bringing awareness about the natural world and its inhabitants.

Our past projects revolve around educating the public about wolves, bats, frogs, and rhinos. Since 2010, we have raised $3,634 for Bat Conservation International, The Mexican Grey Wolf Recovery program, Amphibian Ark, and Bowling for Rhinos.
