School programs

The Oregon Zoo is the largest environmental education program in Oregon. Staff and programs are dedicated to inspiring the region to create a better future for wildlife.

Each year, trainers, animal presenters and volunteers share their conservation expertise with millions of people at the zoo, in classrooms and community centers. Programs reach all ages, and range from short talks at an exhibit to overnight campouts.
