One of my favorite places in Des Moines is Blank Park Zoo. They operate as a non-profit and provide so many great benefits to conservation efforts, animal and species care, and education.
I had a chance to speak with Blank Park Zoo CEO/President Anne Shimerdla last Saturday about what challenges the winter months pose for the zoo and how things work for the staff since the zoo is open year round.
Hear my extended interview with Anne and learn how you can volunteer in various departments at this amazing place:
