to a loved one will become permanent recognition for
your support of the Ellen Trout Zoo for many years to
come.
For only $40.00, your 4"x8"
brick will be inscribed and become part of the walkways
of Ellen Trout Zoo. Three lines of script can be
inscribed in each red clay brick.

Hippo Habitat
Fund (HHF)
The new exhibit for
hippopotamuses is an important feature of the zoo and
provides the only opportunity to see, appreciate and
learn about these wonderful aquatic animals in our
region. The new hippo exhibit features underwater
viewing of these large aquatic mammals. State
of the art filtration ensures a healthy environment for
the hippos. In the future, co-habitating with the
hippos may be fish, crocodilians or waterfowl, creating
a more dynamic exhibit for the zoo visitor and a more
naturalistic representation of the habitat. By
contributing to the HHF, you can help support this part
of the master plan.

A.D.O.P.T.
Animals Depend On People Too (A.D.O.P.T.)
Enjoy the joys of "parenthood"
without the mess by sponsoring your favorite animal for
one year. Ellen Trout Zoo staff provide all of our
animals with nutritious food and veterinary care but
sometimes they need new homes or improvement to their
current homes. Your sponsorship helps supplement the
zoo's budget to provide for these types of needs. Your
name and the animals you have chosen to "adopt" will
appear on a plaque at the front entrance of the Zoo.
You will also receive a fact sheet telling you all kinds
of interesting things about your adoptee.
