If working with animals in your free time and spreading a love of nature and conservation is something you enjoy, a local zoo is hoping you'd consider donating your time this summer.
Volunteers are a big part of the success of the Scovill Zoo in Decatur and Director Ken Frye says their volunteers take on a variety of roles.
Frye indicates volunteers are asked to take part in a special series of training classes offered at the zoo. They get underway early next week and run throughout the spring.
Frye says there are a lot of classes because a lot of information is given out. While attendance at each and every class is not required, he hopes volunteers will make as many as possible.
