Si Zoo Shears Their Sheep 5/16

Spring is here - our sheeps' wool must disappear! It is sheep shearing time again. Mr. Peter Sepe, a professional sheep shearer, will once again shear the wool from our flock. The Staten Island Hand spinners and Weavers will demonstrate how the wool is spun into yarn used to weave or knit scarves, hats and sweaters. Get your own "shear" while you're here from a professional stylist, Mary Jane Froese! Bring the entire family and enjoy!

Demonstrations are free with regular Zoo admission.
Haircuts are $10.00 per person (all proceeds benefit the Zoo)
Pre-registration Not Required

In August 1933 the Staten Island Zoological Society was organized to create and administer a zoo located in Clarence T. Barrett Park on Staten Island. The formal goals of the Society articulated in the first bulletin in December 1934 have been adhered to throughout its history and are as follows:

• To disseminate a knowledge of zoology and an appreciation of animal life
• To maintain a zoological garden where small mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and
tropical fish will be on display for observation and study
• Through local facilities, accessible to all of Staten Island, instill in children an
understanding and appreciation of living creatures
• To provide lectures and facilities for group meetings devoted to the study of natural
history
