The new Valerie H. Schindler Wildlife Learning Center provides
affordable accommodations for college and university students who
participate in apprenticeships, internships and residencies at the Zoo
and also welcomes visiting artists and scholars engaged in work
that advances the Zoo’s missions in conservation, education, recreation
and research.
In addition, we hope that the Center will eventually expand the Zoo’s leadership role in Online
learning and Internet-teaching by offering classes in telemetry, Global
Positioning Systems, Archview and similar digital technology that
researchers use to promote conservation. During part of the Year, the
Center will also offer educator workshops on inquiry-based teaching
methods and support other special events that engage small groups in
camping, hiking and research activities held in the Park at night.
The Zoo hopes to open The Valerie H. Schindler Wildlife Learning Center in 2006.
