Eco-Safari Art Contest Shines at
Party for the Planet

Rolling Hills Zoo celebrated this year's Party for the Planet on April 20th with the debut of its inaugural Wildly Reclaimed: Eco-Art Safari Recycled Art Contest. This event showcased remarkable creativity with a commitment to conservation from all of our talented participants! 

Participants competed in four age groups, with their art entries comprised of at least 50% recycled or repurposed materials. From plastic caps and bottles, to cardboard and old clothing, they transformed everyday items into extraordinary pieces of art, showcasing their incredible imagination! 

With 18 captivating entries, RHZ Zoo guests (voters) had a tough choice to make.
