Scovill Zoo Officials Headed to Baltimore for AZA Hearing

Association of Zoos and Aquariums, or AZA, officials have been to the Scovill Zoo in Decatur, and later this week, officials from the Macon County zoo head to the Baltimore area for a final determination on its review.

 

To be accredited through the AZA, Director Ken Frye explains the association does a thorough review of the facility and its resources. That took place earlier this summer with several recommendations. 

 

 

According to Frye, the process now shifts to the Baltimore, Maryland area later this week when zoo officials attend the annual AZA conference where their review culminates in an ultimate verdict on the accreditation.

 

 

Frye points out there are lots of break-out programs and conferences as a part of the week-long event. He calls it a busy week.
