Mill Mountain Zoo Unleashes ‘Walk on the Wild Side’ Adventure Series 

Mill Mountain Zoo is thrilled to announce the launch of its brand-new education program, Walk on the Wild Side! This program offers an exciting opportunity for participants to immerse themselves in the wonders of nature, learn about native plants and animals, and actively engage in conservation efforts.
Walk on the Wild Side will take participants on guided hikes through the scenic trails of Mill Mountain, providing an up-close and personal experience with the diverse wildlife and flora of the region. Led by knowledgeable guides, participants will have the chance to discover the secrets of the forest, observe native species in their natural habitats, and gain a deeper understanding of the importance of conservation.
“We are so excited to introduce Walk on the Wild Side! This program is designed to inspire a love for nature and a commitment to protecting our environment,” said Kiana Nowall, Educator at Mill Mountain Zoo. “We want these immersive experiences to inspire people to actively contribute to conservation efforts.
