Terrey Andrew Mauck Mark Vaughan, Esq. Susanne MacDonald Dear Zoo Supporters,

From the start of construction on Nature’s Neighborhoods – the new George Robert White Fund Children’s Zoo to the fundraising record set by our gala, this past fiscal year saw Zoo New England build on successes achieved in recent years to further fulfill its mission to inspire people to protect and sustain the natural world for future generations.

Our animal family expanded with the births of cotton-top tamarin twins, a white-cheeked gibbon, and a goat, among many others. In the spring, we welcomed Seymour, a two-year-old , to Stone Zoo where it is hoped that he will successfully breed with female Chessie. Our education programs served 231,218 visitors of all ages, a 10 percent increase from FY 15, and overall attendance grew from 588,630 visitors last year to 617,211 in FY 16. With our commitment to educating the next generation of conservation stewards, we were especially pleased that attendance by schoolchildren increased in FY 16 to 90,633, compared to 66,077 in FY 15.

Following the completion of a successful capital campaign, construction began in the fall on Nature’s Neighborhoods – the new George Robert Fund Children’s Zoo at Franklin Park Zoo. This engaging, discovery-based space was designed to introduce children to relatable ecological concepts all while having fun. At Stone Zoo, we began planning for the new Animal Discovery Center and improved visitor amenities such as a new entrance and ticketing area, new restrooms, and a new gift shop. These upgrades to Stone Zoo will increase customer satisfaction, help attract new visitors, and assist in increasing revenues. The Animal Discovery Center will feature hands-on programming, interactive learning opportunities, animal exhibits, and other elements that will encourage children to build meaningful connections with the natural world.

Strengthened and energized by this growth, and with the support and work of our highly engaged Board of Directors, in FY 16 we began mapping out a strategic plan for the next three years. A Strategic Planning Committee comprised of Board members, Advisory Council members and members of the Executive Team is developing an ambitious blueprint to advance our mission delivery and conservation impact, as well as expand our capacity to create fun and engaging experiences that connect all of our visitors to the wonders of the natural world. We are fortunate to have highly-skilled professional staff, a strong core of devoted volunteers, a talented Advisory Council, and a dedicated Board of Directors to ensure that we are able to deliver on our mission, now and in the future.

We are grateful to the loyal and generous Zoo members, donors, and volunteers who help us provide meaningful experiences that will be remembered long after our visitors leave our zoos. With your continued support, we will realize our vision for these beloved Zoos and inspire caring and action in all of our guests.

Sincerely,

John Linehan President & CEO Pictured at top: Western lowland gorilla Azize rides on mom Kiki’s back; at right, clockwise from left: Seymour, a jaguar at Stone Zoo, Chewbacca, a Nigerian dwarf goat, and a hammerkop chick.
