The Scovill Zoo has closed for the winter, but during their closed period, they are getting ready for next year. Over the winter Scovill Zoo plans for next spring, and with that planning, the zoo looks to train volunteers to do all sorts of activities and tasks.

The volunteers will go to the Scovill Zoo to help start some of their training and education classes to help prep them says Scovill Zoo Director Ken Frye.

The classes for volunteers will start in February, and there is a volunteer application on the Scovill Zoo website if you are interested. The website for the Scovill Zoo is scovillzoo.com, or you can call if you have any questions at 217-421-7435.
