David Mack, Chairman of the Board of PBCC presents a check to Andrew Aiken, CEO of the zoo

The Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society recently received a grant of $7,500 from the Palm Beach Country Club. This generous grant will cover the initial design costs for the Nature Play Exhibit.

As a conservation organization, the Palm Beach Zoo is committed to the education of the children in the community by providing them with the conservation science knowledge and the inspiration to act on behalf of wildlife that will create the next generation of environmentalists.

The Nature Play Exhibit will allow the Zoo to help children of all ages develop their personal relationship with the natural world through purposeful play. More than half of the Zoo’s 340,000 annual visitors are children, and the Nature Play Exhibit will extend the Zoo’s ability to teach children in nontraditional ways. The dedicated Nature Play area will provide children the opportunities to discover and connect with nature through play activities and hands-on programs.

The zoo is a tremendous community asset and we are proud to support them,” said David Mack, Chairman of the Board of the Palm Beach Country Club Foundation.
