    Fort Worth Zoo's Wilder Vision
     
    GET WILD with ULI North Texas!
     
    The Fort Worth Zoo was founded in 1909 and has grown into a nationally ranked facility, housing more than 7,000 native and exotic animals.  The zoo covers 60 developed acres and has undergone continual expansion since opening in 1910.  In 2016, the Zoo announced A Wilder Vision, a $100-million capital campaign that encompassed new exhibit space, renovated habitats, special event space, multiple dining areas, restrooms and new ways to observe, interact and learn about animals.
     
    Divided into four stages - African Savanna, Elephant Springs, Hunters of Africa & Asian Predators, and Forests & Jungles - the plan encompasses not only a mission for conserving the animal kingdom, but also for educating and motivating future leaders.
