Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium Green Team
Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium provides resources for our staff to incorporate green practices at work and in the community. An internal committee called the Green Team recommends best practices in conservation for all aspects of PDZA operations. Projects range from improving recycling programs on grounds to using green products and building design.Green building practices
