It's the zoo's Earth Day celebration today - Party for the Planet. And, we announced our 2008 Earth Hero Award recipients this morning.
Dr. Alice (Jill) Black is an assistant professor in the Department of Geology, Geography and Planning at Missouri State University. She is instrumental in educating preservice teachers and preparing them to inspire their students about science.
Sue Schuble is a retired teacher/coach who volunteers with numerous environmental organizations - Greater Ozarks Audubon Society (who nominated her for the award), the Springfield Conservation Nature Center and here at Dickerson Park Zoo.
Watch in the coming weeks for "This Week at Dickerson Park Zoo" podcasts including interviews with each of these Earth Heroes about their projects and involvement in Earth-friendly activities.
