WINNERS HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED!

The Louisville Zoo, in partnership with LG&E and KU Foundation, invites families and individuals to join Kids in Action, a initiative created just for kids and part of the Zoo’s Earth Month Celebration.

Kids in Action encourages children to design conservation projects for the benefit of their own community. The program also offers students a platform to share these projects with conservation minded individuals across the region.

Projects submitted could include creating a backyard pollinator garden, cleaning up a neighborhood park or collecting rainwater for a home garden. These projects will provide a platform for students to share important messages of conservation with their peers. Ultimately with the collective work of students, everyone wins – humans, nature, and animals!

Four participants were drawn at random to win Louisville Zoo prize packs. Winners were announced at the Louisville Zoo’s Earth Day Celebration on Sunday, April 27 and will be invited to showcase their projects at the Zoo.

2025 Winners!

The preschool class at Georgia Chaffee Tapp School has crafted delightful eco-friendly seed bombs for marigolds. Inspired by their love of flowers, the students mixed paper and seeds together, rolled the mixture into balls, and let them dry. They plan to share these charming seed bombs with friends and family to spread floral joy.

 

Holy Cross High School seniors Hunter Drake, Wade Kramer, and Avery Roy have crafted a mobile recycle bin decorated with vibrant nature scenes. They hope it inspires others to contribute to a better world for future generations. Their generous donation to the Zoo will be displayed and used to promote the importance of recycling. Thank you!

 

 

Four-year-old preschooler Elisa Clark from the Primrose School, with the guidance of her mother, organized a stream cleanup to help save salamanders. They removed metal, rubber tires, plastic, ceramic, and glass trash from the stream near their home. Additionally, they decided not to use chemicals on the land near the stream and pond to protect the salamanders.

 

 

Third grade homeschool student Carly Neel has crafted a charming bug hotel using natural supplies like pinecones, sticks, and leaves, along with recyclable materials such as boxes and toilet paper tubes. Inspired by her love for all living things, Rachel wanted to create a cozy haven for bugs.
