Dear Zoo Supporters,

Fiscal year 2014 was a year of continued growth and exciting new opportunities for Zoo New England. From highly-anticipated births including a Brazilian ocelot, a Grevy’s zebra, bongo, Canada lynx kittens and a reindeer, to the debut of the new American alligator exhibit at Stone Zoo and the return of the ever popular Giraffe Terrace at Franklin Park Zoo, there was much to share with new and old friends.

We were especially excited to announce Nature’s Neighborhoods – the new George Robert White Fund Children’s Zoo, being planned for Franklin Park Zoo. This innovative project will feature state-of-the-art exhibits that will provide the foundation for science education, exploratory learning and connections to the natural world. By comparing ecosystems to neighborhoods, children will be able to easily relate to the roles that living creatures, including themselves, play in healthy, thriving environments while exploring various habitats. Nature’s Neighborhoods is a project based on extensive market research validating a concept that fulfills the need for an area specifically geared for young children as a priority for Franklin Park Zoo and the community at large.

Franklin Park Zoo and Stone Zoo are vibrant, essential contributors to our region’s cultural and educational landscape, providing affordable activities for schools and families while educating, inspiring and sharing the wonders of wildlife. Once again this year, tens of thousands of students had fun while learning at our Zoos.

Education and conservation are the cornerstones of our mission, and we are committed to providing opportunities that will inspire the next generation of conservation stewards and leaders. In FY 14, we were thrilled to launch Youth Advisory Councils at both Zoos, which are comprised of highly motivated young people who are generating ideas and pursuing actions to help us achieve even greater success. Our structured ZooTeen, Teen Ambassador and Jr. ZooTeen programs are stronger and more popular than ever. The number of people served by programs and interpretation, as well as revenues generated, continued to increase in FY14.

Delivering on our mission and inspiring tomorrow’s conservation leaders requires great vision, passion, creativity and commitment. As we do this work, we are fortunate to have a skilled and dedicated group of professional staff, a strong core of devoted volunteers; and a talented and committed Board of Directors that is generous with strategic direction, technical expertise, business insight, financial resources and an unwavering commitment to ensuring engaging, inspiring and enriching experiences at our Zoos.

We are grateful to the loyal and generous Zoo members, donors and volunteers who help us provide meaningful experiences to people of all ages. With your continued support, and that of a growing number of others, we are working hard to realize our vision for these beloved Zoos. Together we can make a lasting impression on every group of school children that walks through our gates, every teen who participates in our award-winning youth programs, and every family that visits for a day of fun and adventure.

Sincerely,

John Linehan President & CEO

Whether standing face to face with an endangered western lowland gorilla, or witnessing a newborn reindeer learning how to walk under its mother’s watchful eye, visitors to Zoo New England’s Franklin Park and Stone Zoos have the unique opportunity to connect with the natural world through meaningful experiences that can create lasting memories. Whether it’s a family outing, a corporate picnic or a school field trip, our Zoos provide a welcoming environment for all guests to enjoy while learning about the incredible animals with which we share our planet. It’s also incredibly moving when we hear stories about how the Zoos and the animals inspire and empower people, particularly kids, to make a difference in their community. We had the opportunity to recognize an outstanding youth for his efforts on behalf of wildlife and conservation with the Zoo Hero Youth Award presented at Zootopia.

In FY 14, a total of 652,655 guests visited the Zoos and experienced all that we had to offer. We are working hard to realize our vision for the future of these Zoos and are committed to building world-class institutions for you and your family to enjoy for generations to come.

signiFicant aniMal acHieveMentsEach animal is an ambassador for its species and has a story tell about the importance of wildlife protection and habitat preservation. Some species rely on zoos in part for their comeback from the brink of extinction. Management of animals within and cooperatively between institutions accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) is vital for ensuring healthy, genetically diverse populations.

For years Zoo New England has been an active participant in and contributor to a number of important Species Survival Plans (SSPs), cooperative inter-zoo programs coordinated nationally through AZA that are designed to maintain genetically diverse and demographically stable captive populations of species.

A prime example of this in action could be seen in December 2013, when we were proud to be part of an international collaboration which resulted in the arrival of Inocencio, a young pygmy hippo from the Parque Zoologico Buin Zoo in Chile, to Franklin Park Zoo. The North American captive pygmy hippo population is small – only about 61 individuals – and highly skewed toward females. The hope is that Inocencio will eventually breed with female pygmy hippo Cleopatra, who also resides at Franklin Park Zoo, and further the efforts to create a self-sustaining population for these endangered animals. Inocencio’s arrival was the result of a collaborative effort between Zoo New England, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the USDA’s Animal Plant Health Inspection Service.

In addition to Inocencio, visitors encountered a number of other new furry faces and feathered heads as they toured our Zoos.

Births and hatchings at Franklin Park Zoo included a Grevy’s zebra, prairie dogs, African pygmy falcon chicks, and Siberian crane chicks.

In the fall of 2013, Franklin Park Zoo’s female Grevy’s zebra Evita gave birth to a male foal. The foal was named Jakobi, a west African word meaning “star,” as the result of a public poll conducted on Franklin Park Zoo’s Facebook page. This birth served as a continuation of ZNE’s very successful participation in the Grevy’s Zebra SSP – currently, there are fewer than 2,700 of these endangered animals in the wild. Franklin Park Zoo also celebrated the birth of a Brazilian ocelot kitten, and three important hatches – one of a rare Siberian crane chick (one of only 21 in captivity in four North American institutions accredited by AZA) and two African pygmy falcon chicks.

Memorial Day weekend brought something snappy to Stone Zoo with the arrival of three American alligators. The alligator exhibit is a permanent seasonal exhibit that allows guests to visit the alligators into the early fall. In addition to these scaly faces, after re-opening in the spring following several months of construction and renovations, visitors to Windows to the Wild saw new additions including a Matschie’s tree kangaroo, straw-colored fruit bats and cotton-top tamarins.

Stone Zoo also celebrated the birth of four Canada lynx kittens and the birth of a male reindeer. All of these births were extra joyful occasions, as they marked the first successful births of each species at the Zoo.

Zoos That Inspire

Inocencio, an endangered pygmy hippo, arrived at Franklin Park Zoo in December 2013 from Parque Zoologico Buin Zoo in Chile as the result of an international collaboration. It is hoped that one day he will successfully breed with Cleopatra, a female pygmy hippo who also resides at Franklin Park Zoo.

Standing face to face with Beau the giraffe, one can truly appreciate the beauty and grace of this majestic species – it is an experience not soon forgotten.

Visitors to Franklin Park Zoo have the opportunity to share some face-time with these beautiful, gentle animals at the ever-popular Giraffe Terrace, open seasonally. It is not every day that you have the chance to feed butternut squash to an 18-foot tall giraffe, and the Zoo is proud to offer this special experience and create lasting memories for guests of all ages.

Crowds at Stone Zoo looked toward the sky with wonder during the free-flight Masters of Flight: Birds of Prey show, open May through Labor Day. Bird species from around the world are awe-inspiring as they swoop about, demonstrating natural behaviors such as food foraging and unique survival techniques during this engaging and educational experience.

With the addition of the American alligator exhibit at Stone Zoo in 2014, visitors were given the unique opportunity to meet smaller gators – measuring 1 foot long each – up close as part of the Zoo’s daily education encounters at the exhibit.

At Franklin Park Zoo, Aussie Aviary and Butterfly Landing remained places where people can truly connect with the wonders of wildlife. Whether feeding the colorful budgies in Aussie Aviary or finding tranquility amongst the fluttering denizens of Butterfly Landing, visitors flocked to these interactive, educational spaces.

The 6D ride Rhino Rescue combined state-of-the-art technology with a conservation message in a dynamic, memorable way as it continued to thrill visitors by taking them on a high-speed chase alongside park rangers pursuing rhino poachers.

FY 14 brought many events that were unique in a way that only the Zoo can offer. During the Run Wild 5K races at both Zoos, participants had the opportunity to lace up their sneakers as they had fun and ran in support of the Zoos. At Franklin Park Zoo, guests to the annual Brew at the Zoo sipped on a wide array of delicious beers as they strolled amongst the animals and experienced a unique evening event that has proven to be more popular each year. Also at Franklin Park Zoo, the inaugural Uncorked served up wine tastings at this well received spring event. At Stone Zoo’s not-to-be-missed A Wild Affair, guests sampled tasty food and drinks generously donated from a variety of local restaurants and caterers, listened to live entertainment, bid on an array of fabulous auction items and experienced so much more.

These experiences and so many others uniquely position our Zoos to connect guests to the vast wonders of nature through exploration, discovery, play, education, and imagination. Visitors leave with a greater appreciation for the natural world that will stay with them long after their visits.

immersive Experiences

While our animal collection is the primary motivation behind a Zoo visit, our mission – our passion – is to inspire and educate the next generation of conservation stewards and leaders. Our conservation programs make a lasting and meaningful impact locally, regionally and internationally. At our Zoos, people of any age can discover the incredible biodiversity of our planet and the critical role they play in ensuring it is a healthy, thriving environment for generations to come.

Quarters for Conservation, launched in 2013, dedicates 25 cents from each admission and $2.50 from each membership to ZNE’s conservation efforts, allowing us to greatly expand funding dedicated to our mission imperative. It also gives each visitor a direct impact on wildlife conservation. The conservation kiosks at both Zoos continue to educate visitors about some of our conservation initiatives and allows them to discuss and vote on the conservation project they’d like to support.

Through our cooperative captive breeding programs, many new animals are born or hatched, or brought to our Zoos to bolster our breeding and education programs. In the spring of 2014, a male whooping crane joined the collection. The crane, one of approximately 600 remaining (about 300 of which are in the wild), had set up a territory on an air field in Wisconsin, and despite repeated efforts to encourage him to move elsewhere, the decision was made to remove him from the wild for his safety and for human safety as planes take off and land in that

area. Visitors can see the crane within the Alfred Huang North American Crane Exhibit at Stone Zoo.

The whooping crane is critically endangered, and ZNE is committed to the research and conservation of the species. We are a proud supporter of Operation Migration, which conducts groundbreaking work in reintroducing whooping cranes into eastern North America.

Farther away, ZNE continues its work saving amphibians from the brink of extinction in the amphibian-rich region of eastern Panama. Dr. Eric Baitchman, ZNE Director of Veterinary Services, is the lead veterinarian for the Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project (PARC).

In partnership with other institutions, ZNE provided support in a variety of ways for numerous other regional, national and international wildlife conservation projects, among them the Snow Leopard Trust, 96 Elephants and whooping crane conservation.

Closer to home, Zoo New England continues to collaborate with the Blanding’s turtle research and monitoring project at Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in an effort to boost this turtle species’ population. Each fall, Stone Zoo cares for a small group of hatchlings and keeps them safe for nine months until

they are re-released back into Great Meadows’ wetlands with radio transmitters attached to the top part of their

shell. The goal is to locate the turtle three times per year and to take measurements twice a year to monitor survival and growth rates.

New to Franklin Park Zoo in FY 14 was the Organic Garden Project – an initiative launched to sustainably provide organic food and enrichment to the Zoos’ animals. In addition to generating produce, the garden provides the opportunity to educate visitors and the community about the importance of fresh, locally grown produce and how to start small-scale organic gardens on their own. This project aligned perfectly with the Zoos’ mission and dedication to conservation.

Franklin Park Zoo and Stone Zoo provide the environment for active exploration, inquiry and hands-on discovery to inspire people to interact positively with the natural world. Zoo New England’s expansive science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) focused educational programs, which incorporate Massachusetts and federal curriculum frameworks, supplement and build interest in formal science education and enable our guests to explore the complex connection between natural, thriving habitats and wildlife.

The Zoos offer free admission to all Massachusetts schoolchildren throughout the school year. By providing opportunities to under-resourced children who may otherwise not be able to visit our Zoos, we’re able to connect them with the natural world and bring fun and effective educational programming to all members of our community. In FY 14, 57,649 students visited Franklin Park Zoo and Stone Zoo at no cost as part of school field trips.

Through a range of formal and informal programming, the Education department shares the wonder of nature with students of all ages – from toddlers in our Playful Paws playgroups to school-aged children, college students doing research, adult education students and casual learners.

Class time isn’t only for children, however. Our educators also offer classes aligned with the state’s educational frameworks to enhance the knowledge, skills, and expertise of Massachusetts and New Hampshire school teachers.

In FY 14, the Youth Advisory Council was created to further engage young people between ages 11 to 14 by working with staff at both Zoos on program, exhibit and event advisement while also assisting with marketing, fundraising and community outreach efforts. Through these efforts, Council members can leave a lasting mark on the Zoo as they develop the skills necessary to become future leaders in their schools and communities.

Since 1999, Zoo New England’s nationally recognized ZooTeen programs have created opportunities and nurtured the development of more than 1,400 young people. The ZooTeen Program provides youth the opportunity to receive direct exposure to zoo and conservation-oriented careers in a safe, structured and professional learning environment. Personal academic and professional development classes and service projects are incorporated into the program’s design. While these young people work in a range of Zoo departments, they forge lasting personal and professional relationships, build their resumes and hone interview skills.

The program attracts a diverse group of participants from the neighborhoods surrounding Franklin Park Zoo. Upon completion of the ZooTeen Program, selected teens are given the opportunity to extend their work at the Zoo throughout the school year through our Teen Ambassador Program.

We also have an active Junior ZooTeen program for youth aged 11 to 14. This program offers a hands-on learning atmosphere and several mentoring relationships with senior staff members.

inspiring Tomorrow’s Leaders

As a vibrant component of the cultural community in Boston and beyond, Zoo New England is committed to community participation and community access. We were once again pleased to partner with the Highland Street Foundation who sponsored a very successful, and highly attended, free day at Franklin Park Zoo. In FY 14, ZNE offered 3,600 passes to community groups that otherwise would not be able to access the Zoos. We continue to work with community centers, camps and groups such as the Greater Grove Hall Main Streets, The Kroc Army Salvation Center, Project RIGHT, Winn Companies, Franklin Park Coalition, Boston Youth Environmental Network, The Emerald Necklace Conservancy, Stoneham Chamber of Commerce, and the Stoneham Business Roundtable. Additionally, we continue to do outreach to libraries, schools, after-school programs and various other entities.

With help from donations, we partnered with area hospitals and non-profit organizations to present DreamNight, a special evening for chronically ill and disabled children to enjoy Franklin Park Zoo with their families and caregivers free of charge. More than 1,000 guests attended this annual event.

We also facilitated another successful ZooCamp at Franklin Park Zoo, marking the 19th year of our partnership with Camp Fire USA. Because ZooCamp tuitions are purposely kept low, this unique summer camp is accessible for many children from low-income families.

strengthening our Communities

The ZooTeen program is one of best ways to get youth around the community more involved and aware about the environment and conservation efforts. It is a great way to meet new people, make new friends and explore possible science careers.

Jonathan gilmour Memorial Scholarship FundIn April 2006, Franklin Park Zoo lost a cherished family member when former Zookeeper Jonathan Gilmour passed away suddenly at age 29. To honor Jonathan and his commitment to the welfare of animals, the Jonathan gilmour Memorial scholarship Fund was established in his memory. The fund was established by Zoo New England with the generous financial support and volunteer leadership from the Gilmour family.

Award winners are ZNE staff members who have been employed by the Zoo for at least one year.

Each May, the Jonathan Gilmour Memorial Scholarship Bike Ride is held in Hollis, N.H. Hundreds of riders celebrate Jonathan’s memory and through the years this Ride has raised tens of thousands of dollars to support the scholarship fund.
