Wednesday with Wine and a Guest Speaker

Join us at Compass Point home of Dirty Girl Adventures for an evening designed to allow for socializing, learning and fun!

Our guest is Dennis Dinwiddie Director of Conservation at the Topeka Zoo. Dennis has worked in Conservation for many years and is now the Director of Conservation at the Zoo. WHO KNEW that Zoo was an important player in conservation?! Come out to learn more about how the Zoo implements Conservation and Sustainability. Dennis is a great story teller and will share details as well stories from his work over the years.

The following five Sustainability Initiatives were developed and form the framework of the zoo’s strategic plan. Each initiative has overlap with more than one sustainability development goal.

1. Slow the threat of extinction.
2. Reduce the effects of plastic on the environment.
3. Ensure food availability for the future.
4. Create respect and empathy for water conservation.

Conservation through sustainability can benefit both local and global species by adopting practices that promote environmental health, biodiversity, and long-term ecosystem stability.

This is a DONATION BASED event. We will be asking for donations to support Conservation efforts at the Topeka Zoo
