Construction continues on the red panda outdoor habitat!

Work on the red panda's outside habitat area continues!

Construction on their indoor habitat continues to move along and we've now started construction of their outdoor habitat! You can help support red panda by donating and spreading the word, thank you!

Volunteers helped plant more bamboo last weekend as we continue to prepare for the arrival of the red panda! Bamboo makes up over 90% of their diet and we're excited to be able to grow a lot of that on site here at the Nature Center!

Construction progress continues on the interior portion of the red panda habitat!

The building that makes up the interior part of the red panda habitat is going up - exciting!
