Do you have old holiday lights taking up space in your closets? We're collecting holiday lights and extension cords for our “Lights for Lions” recycling drive! Drop off used or non-functioning strings of lights and extension cords at our recycling bins at both Zoos. Recycling proceeds support our conservation partner, Lion Landscapes, in their efforts to protect lions and their habitats.

About Lion Landscapes

Zoo New England supports Lion Landscapes in their community-led conservation work aimed at protecting large wild carnivores threatened by human-dominated landscape. This work in Tanzania is of high-importance, as this area is considered one of the last lion strongholds.

Thank you to our recycling partner, Spiegel South Shore Scrap Metal!
