Given El Capitan’s mantra to teach children about both nature and nurture, we were proud to partner with our friends FarmOn! Foundation to build a children’s farm at the Bronx Zoo. Filled with interactive educational activities, participants learned about local initiatives, got their hands dirty, and fed themselves and some of the local animals. Here we are able to teach that we are all part of larger, living, inter-connected ecosystems. Connecting urban and rural communities is critical to the work we do. We love local farmers.
