Come Celebrate Earth Month at Oakland Zoo! This year, we have expanded our Earth Day Celebration to four Saturdays in April. Starting on April 8th, we will be partying for the planet with a different conservation-based theme each Saturday:

April 8 - What to do with Waste
April 15 - Air Quality & the Environment
April 22 - Taking Action for Wildlife
April 29 - Planting for Pollinators

Meet with our conservation partners and local environmental organizations, enjoy crafts, art, face painting, musical entertainment, and more! Join us at Oakland Zoo to Celebrate our beautiful planet!

*Participate in our chalk drawing and receive a biodegradable planter containing butterfly garden seeds for pollinators - supplies are limited!*

Don't forget to collect Special Edition trading cards featuring Native Pollinators found with Education staff and volunteers!
