New Exhibits Planned As Forest Park Zoo In Springfield Marks 125 Years

WAMC

    A western Massachusetts institution marks a milestone this year.  The Zoo in Forest Park in Springfield is observing its 125th anniversary.

    The zoo, which has rebounded after a couple of rough years financially, is planning special events and will debut three new exhibits.

    WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Forest Park Zoo Executive Director Sarah Tsitso .

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
