Calendar: A Taste of CRES
At the Wild Animal Park
For a special and enlightening outing, it's hard to top A Taste of CRES, an upscale tour program offered by the Wild Animal Park.
Starting at 4:30 p.m., the event begins with a tour of the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center for Conservation Research. You will get to see the state-of-the-art research facility and learn about CRES (Conservation and Research for Endangered Species) scientists and their research projects. Then, you'll be escorted to an elegant cheese and wine-tasting reception (nonalcoholic drinks available) at 5:30 p.m., followed by some conversation about conservation during a presentation by a dynamic speaker, usually one of the CRES researchers. Each month will feature a new speaker with fascinating stories.
The cost of the entire program is $59 per person. Because the speaker will change each month, we invite you to come back again and again to enjoy the reception and speaker for only $35.
