Energetic volunteers needed to help with the 3rd Annual Conservation Carnival hosted by the Oshkosh Zoological Society at the Menominee Park Zoo. Conservation Carnival is a free event to increase the public's awareness of the Oshkosh Zoological Society, a non-profit group whose mission is to promote the zoo and help provide a meaningful educational and recreational experience for the zoo's visitors. This year's Conservation Carnival will occur on Saturday, August 7 and Sunday August 8, from 10am-4pm. Volunteers are needed to assist children at craft and activity tables, give goodie bags to visitors and help clean up existing gardens and plant trees on the zoo grounds.
