Happy National Zoo Lovers Day! Today’s Parks Pick-Me-Up features Dickerson Park Zoo. Now we know you’re thinking, wait a minute: all the Parks Pick-Me-Ups are supposed to be things that are OPEN, right? Well, it’s true, the zoo is closed, but this is an activity you and your family can do from home: write a letter to the animals! Zookeepers are reading your letters aloud to the animals and the videos are posted on Dickerson Park Zoo’s Facebook page. It’s a great way to find out if there are bones in an elephant’s trunk, what snakes snack on, or whether you can have a giraffe as a pet. Letters to the animals are so much fun, they were featured on NBC NIghtly News on April 4. Send your letters to jpowell@dickersonparkzoo.org (emailed letters only, please.)
