Monkeying around at the Millbrook Schools Trevor ZooBy Whitney Joseph

The Millbrook School is a private, coeducational college

preparatory boarding school that offers the community more than

just an excellent academic backdrop for its students. It is, in fact,

home to a fully accredited zoo, one of 215 out of 24,000 zoos and

aquariums in the United States accredited by the Association

of Zoos and Aquariums (only about 10 percent meet their

standards). According to Director Jonathan Meigs, its not an

easy standard to meet.

two lemurs, ring-tailed lemurs,black and white-ruffed lemurs,golden lion tamarins, red pandasand Victoria-legged cichlids. Thereis also a threatened-species on site,a Geoffroys marmoset.

Zoos can be Noahs Arcs forthe world, Meigs said. Theycan help. But what really has tohappen is the natural habitat hasto be protected and sometimesexpanded. Captive breeding is ashort-term answer to keep thebreeding stock alive and thenhopefully reintroduced into thewild. I think natural ecosystemsare the healthiest with as many ofthe original species as possible.

When you take species out of theirecosystems you can threaten thoseecosystems. I think you have tofocus on natural areas and cantbe working in isolation behind zoofences.

Theres a lot to learn at theTrevor Zoo, which is greatfor the students at MillbrookSchool. Theres a program thatallows those students hands-onexperience, as part of the schoolscommunity service initiative.Currently about 50 students get toprovide care for the animals, whichMeigs said is an unusual situation.

Were unique to havestudents in an accredited zoo,he said. Nobody has a programcomparable to ours with kidsworking directly with the animalson a regular basis. I think we arethe only school-owned zoo as

well. We think its very special. Ithink whats also special is that wehave been able to develop the zooover the last few years as a greatresource for people in the area.

And the people know it. The zoowelcomes roughly 25,000 visitorsannually, with about 5,000 schoolchildren attending in the spring onclass trips. Families also frequent

the zoo, which is busiest on theweekends; it is also open year-round. Admission is $5 for adults,$3 for children and seniors, thereare annual passes for $55 andsummer passes for $40.

Jane Meigs, whose focus is onconservation, said Trevor Zoo isa special place to visit, and ideallythose who do get to learn more

than about just the animals.I hope visitors leave thinking,

Aha, theres something I can do tomake a difference in the world,she said. Coming here is aboutmore than just fun.

Jonathan Meigs praised hiswifes efforts.

education. The Institute becamean independent not-for-profitcorporation in 1993.

The mission of research andeducation continues under the newdirector, William Schlesinger, whobecame president of the renamed

Cary Institute of EcosystemStudies in 2007. In a talk at theCary in 2009, Schlesinger spokeof his first noticing environmental

changes, including declines in thepopulations of common species.

As a young scientist, he hadstudied plant succession in the

southeastern United States andsaw how vegetation responded tolarge-scale environmental changes,

not just to those in the immediatearea. What were these changes andwhat was responsible for them ?

The search for answers to

these and other critical questionstakes place every day at theCary Institute, and in the field.Its website talks of the science

behind environmental solutions.In that spirit, the staff at the Carystudies how ecosystems work,with focal points including air and

Looking for some culture? Doctor Hammond knowsall about it, especially when it comes to convertingthe milk from the seventy cows on his farm to yogurt.

Mmmm, well take strawberry please. If you want some,

youll nd it at Maronas.

Most people around know the doctor for hisveterinary practice in Mabbettsville. Hesbeen at it for forty years now, became a vet so hecould buy the farm hes run for thirty-two of those.

For all that time, Doctor Hammond has kept

accounts with the Bank of Millbrook, business and

personal, and we couldnt be prouder than to have

always been there for a longstanding member of our

community.

Forty years is a long time for a

relationship you might even call it

a special anniversary. We gure thats why

Doc wore a tie.

We believe in the benets ofsupporting local culture
