Norristown, PA - The Elmwood Zoo is excited to announce a new project that will result in the planting of over two dozen new trees in and around animal exhibits all throughout the zoo. This project is made possible through the generous support of the Cosmo Cares Foundation and is spearheaded by the Foundation’s Program Director and Elmwood Park Zoo Board Member, Morgan DeNicola.
These trees will be serving so many great purposes throughout the zoo! Not only will they add to the zoo’s overall beauty, but they’ll provide shade for our animals and guests, produce scents that will add enrichment to the animal enclosures, and certain select tree species will produce browse for the giraffes to eat.
In addition to support from the Cosmo Cares Foundation, Corbo Tree & Landscaping Service will be helping source and plant the various species throughout the zoo, like this serviceberry tree now making its home in the red panda exhibit.
