Come visit us this weekend and celebrate our hometown river. Discover what the Seneca Park Zoo is doing to help with river recovery, from River Otters to Lake Sturgeon to Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnakes.

Look for our AAZK table, near the Eco Center. Make a donation to our chapter and get a chance to win a one-of-a-kind painting made by "Sailor" our male North American River Otter or a chance to win a meet-and-greet with our otters.

All proceeds raised by our chapter, this weekend, will go to the Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake SSP to assist with research and conservation of this endangered snake.
