The Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington is hosting a pair of special events Saturday themed after conservation and endangered animals.

Jay Tetzloff is the Superintendent of the Miller Park Zoo and indicates they are hosting an event at the zoo that focuses on conservation and its collection of endangered species. Additionally, there will be a competition at the mini-golf course adjacent to the zoo.

The mini-golf event is raising funds for the conservation fund for the zoo. This is something Tetzloff began at the Miller Park Zoo and it's an effort to promote conservation efforts both locally and abroad.

Tetzloff indicates his passion for conservation was reignited during COVID. He hopes the Miller Park Zoo can be a leader in showing and teaching how to make a difference in preserving populations of all animals both close to home and across the globe. 

Tetzloff points anyone wanting more information on this weekend's activities to find the Miller Park Zoo on Facebook or visit millerparkzoo.org.
