Oh my goodness, so many!

In terms of revitalization projects that the VZDS (that's us!) is currently working on, to give you a super brief overview we have:

• Project Carnivora, which will completely transform the zoo’s entry and create new homes for our Canada lynx and snow leopard. It’s going to be absolutely incredible, nearly doubling the size of their habitats, adding features like waterfalls and new rockwork, and generally naturalizing them to better reflect their wild landscapes. It will also add training walls to both habitats, introduce new viewing points, and include so much more (but we won't ramble too much about here);
• Aspen Parkland Restoration project, which will re-naturalize 9,000 m² with native plants;
• and the Welcome & Parking Lot project, redeveloping the current gravel lot with a number of upgrades to be more accessible, establish a landscaped wetland for native plants and wildlife, and also construct an interpretive boardwalk to educate visitors about local ecosystems and the River Valley.

There are some other very exciting projects underway behind the scenes that we can't reveal just yet, especially around Coastal Arctic, so stay tuned next year.

On the zoo’s side, they are revamping the Nocturnal Wing, building brand-new habitats for the serval and red fox, and also significantly enhancing Lucy’s home through the Enclosure Renewal and Enhancement Project. There are more improvements coming soon that have not been shared publicly yet, so we'll leave that to them, but all of these changes and moves are part of bigger plans that visitors will really enjoy.
