School is always in session at Beardsley Zoo

Each year, operating with a $2.8 million budget, Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport -- the only accredited zoo in the state -- educates 150,000 people. Fifty thousand are students visiting the zoo for programs; another 100,000 visitors engage its general educational offerings, including lectures delivered, at least in part, by high school students from the zoo's national award-winning Conservation Discovery Corps program.
