The Forsyth Zoo has been growing and changing for many years. When we realize our vision, the community will benefit from two great facilities. The Forsyth Park Zoo and new educational center combined will be known as the “Forsyth Nature Center.”

At the educational center, we will create additional animal pens with a more “hands on” approach for visitors. This also will allow the animals currently housed at the Zoo more exercise space and a fresh place to graze.

Rose, sensory, primeval, formal herb and woodland will make a variety of theme gardens installed on the grounds. The gardens will tie in nicely with the new educational center. A community garden will be a hands-on project that local youths will be involved in planting and cultivating. These gardens will include vegetables and berry patches. Demonstration pens will show a variety of programs such as honey collection, wool spinning, maple syruping and compost production.
