Education Outpost at Zoo Made Possible Through Family Donation

Education Outpost at Zoo Made Possible Through Family Donation

By Press Release

SWAINTON – Tracey Francois, her family, friends, Cape May County Park and Zoo staff and Freeholder E. Marie Hayes gathered at the county Zoo’s Discovery Outpost Building, June 25, to honor Francois’ late husband Adam Francois.
The Francois family and friends donated $7,500 to the zoo in Francois’ memory.
A lover of animals, and the Cape May County Zoo, the family wanted to pay tribute to his big heart and caring personality with something they believed with which he would be proud. Funding was used to update the original Zoological Society office by creating an education outpost.
Located just south of the zoo entrance, the Discovery Outpost has been recently fitted with a television and 4-foot-square ambassador animal display.
The newly renovated building will be used daily for education programs, docent meetings and more.
