Do you have gently used or new items that are lying around the house collecting dust? Can’t come to grips with just throwing it away and wish that it would go to a good home? Or do you want to help out the Lehigh Valley Zoo but just don’t know how?

Rest assured, the Lehigh Valley Zoo now has an updated Wish List of items that can be donated to help with the husbandry of our animals. If you are interested in donating an item or have an item that you think might be of use to us please contact the Office at 610-799-4171.
