Roots & Shoots Day of Peace
Join us in celebrating the United Nations International Day of Peace with Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots California by coming to the Zoo on Sunday, September 18th, for the California Day of Peace 2011 as Roots & Shoots members and friends unite across the world to celebrate and promote peace.
In 2011, for the first time, Roots & Shoots is celebrating our 9th annual Day of Peace in Northern California. There will be many fun activities, including a project for the Zoo’s primates and monkeys, earning stamps on your Passport to Peace, making peace dove puppets out of recycled materials, and flying them in a Peace Dove Parade!
This event is open to the public! Spread the word to friends, family, and anyone who might be interested in coming out to the Oakland Zoo to spend a day having fun and celebrating peace!
Beavers are fairly peaceful creatures, so it seems a good fit. Worth A Dam will be one of six non-profits involved in the Passport for Peace and it would be great to see some familiar faces there. We’ll be working on two new beaver flags and a teaching how beavers build a neighborhood. Join us why don’t you?
