<div>Mill Mountain Zoo is a nonprofit organization that has been a part of the Roanoke community for over 70 years. It has always been a place of peace, joy, wonder, learning, and conservation. But this February, severe winter storms brought heavy ice and high winds, leaving Roanoke’s Zoo with significant tree damage, and a difficult road to recovery.

<div>While we are incredibly grateful that all of our animals and staff are safe, the damage to our zoo has forced us to remain closed to the public, putting a strain on our resources as we rebuild.

<div>Guest safety and superior animal care are always our top priority. Our dedicated team has been working tirelessly to ensure the well-being of our animals while also managing storm cleanup. In particular, our off-exhibit American Red Wolves—a federally protected, critically endangered species—had to be rehoused due to fallen trees that impacted the integrity of their enclosure.

<div>As we recover, we need your help. We are launching a GoFundMe campaign to help us overcome a lofty insurance deductible and the loss of vital admissions revenue. Your support will help us rebuild, restore, and reopen. Please consider donating to our cause and sharing our story. We thank you for your support.
