Wildlife Conservation

Redwoods are not the only rare species in Humboldt!

 

Eureka’s very own Sequoia Park Zoo is home to many rare species of animals. Get up close and personal with animals and Wildlife Conservation opportunities. This is a great way to learn something new, or share your knowledge about wildlife conservation! The Zoo is a fun place to make new friends, whether they are furry, feathered or scaly! The Zoo hosts various volunteer programs that are tailored to specific age groups (ages eleven to adult).
