Jr Zookeeper & Friends of Chehaw

Chehaw Park & Zoo is calling all Chehaw Park Authority Members, Friends of Chehaw, and Jr. Zookeepers: it is time to reconnect! Chehaw is launching an outreach to bring the Chehaw family back together, update contact information, celebrate shared memories, and create new opportunities to stay involved with the park’s exciting future. For generations, Chehaw’s members, supporters, and participants have been at the heart of the park’s story. Through their dedication, service, enthusiasm, and commitment to wildlife and conservation, they have helped shape Chehaw into the beloved community destination it is today. Now, Chehaw is opening the door for old friends to reconnect, new memories to be made, and lifelong connections to continue growing. Whether you were a Jr. Zookeeper, a Chehaw Park Authority Member, or a Friend of Chehaw, we invite you to be apart of this special outreach program. Read More

Fun Facts

Imagine sharing the planet with dinosaurs. Well, lemurs did! Lemurs are one of the oldest primate families in the world, with ancestors that lived millions of years ago. Their long history makes them one of nature’s most fascinating survivors and a reminder of just how amazing wildlife can be. Over time, lemurs evolved into the incredible species we know today, making them a living link to our planet’s prehistoric past. That's one ancient family tree!
