A variety of experts, from all over the West Coast, came to provide the community with some of the conceptual planning done thus far. As well as safety and technical considerations, safeguards for forest health, and descriptions of the visitor experience.

City and zoo officials also took time to answer questions and discuss next steps.

Initiated back in 2006, the Redwood Canopy Walk Project will bring life to our backyard said the Sequoia Park Zoo Director.

“It’s been a long time waiting,” said Gretch Ziegler. “But it’s super exciting and most of it was waiting for the right timing and that includes funding. So we were able to pull funding together just recently and it’s a green light now.”
