WILL WORK FOR PEANUTS! Toledo Zoo Project Underway…With Help From Louie!

After completing the first two projects of the Toledo Zoo’s Phase I Master Plan (north parking lot renovations and the newly opened Nature’s Neighborhood), Bostleman hit the ground running and has already begun work on the third and final project of Phase I – the elephant/hippo/rhino renovation.

The Toledo Zoo has designated elephants and rhinos as priority species for breeding to aid in the species preservation. To accomplish this, the Zoo’s current indoor/outdoor facilities will be enhanced and enlarged to meet the American Zoo and Aquarium Associations’ requirements for breeding. Work currently in progress includes the bull facility and yard. New and expanded viewing areas will be provided, as well as enrichment and training features.

Not only is the Toledo Zoo and Bostleman excited to get the renovation project underway, but “baby” Louie, is anxious to help keep the project moving. Here, Louie takes time out of his busy day, to show us that he is a safety conscious elephant and wears his hard hat as he over looks the construction project.
