(c) Oregon Zoo
This isn’t related to animal conservation per se but since it’s gardening season and I’m associated with the Oregon Zoo I thought it would be great to plug OZ’s Zoo Doo program.
Basically the zoo composts the ungulate feces, hay, and excess organic mater into awesomeness. It makes excellent fertilizer for gardens (trust me we just put some on ours and this stuff is pretty high quality), and the best part is, it’s free!
Basically, call 503-226-1561 ext. 5133 the day before pickup and let them know what time you’ll be coming in, how much you want, and whether you need help to load (they have a tractor to load trailers if you want to get a LOT). You pick it up at Gate A – the first right you come to when you’re heading to the zoo off of the 26 exit.
Did I mention it’s FREE?!
