Turn Yard Waste into Zoo Feast | Tucson News

Turn your yard trimmings into zoo treats! Reid Park Zoo in Tucson is launching a “browse donation” program, inviting locals to donate branches and leaves from approved trees like acacia, willow, and mulberry—no thorns, no chemicals, and fresh within two days. These natural snacks fuel elephants, giraffes, and tapirs while keeping them mentally stimulated. Send a photo first to confirm approval, then drop off or request a pickup. Even the leftovers get reused—chipped into mulch or built into habitats. It’s waste-to-wonder for wildlife, one branch at a time.
