Put down the peanuts and pick up a saw -- because if you want to feed Zoo Knoxville's animals -- they are hungry for only the freshest and tallest greens!
Zoo Knoxville is asking for help from folks who'd like to donate freshly cut trees that haven't been treated with pesticides to feed the animals.
If you can help, they are asking people to call them first at (865) 637-5331. They can take deliveries between 8 to 5 p.m.
Here's a list of trees their animals love the most:
- Bradford pear
- Dogwood
- Hackberry
- Sugar maple
- Silver maple
- Elm
- Mulberry
- Chestnut oak
- Red oak
- Hickory
- Eastern redbud
- River birch
- Hemlock tree
- Boxelder
- Mimosa
- Honey suckle (NOT in berry)
