    Hello from Chicago! I am new to the forum. I am retired and have been a Governing member of Brookfield Zoo since 2003. I am also an associate member of the AAZK. I have been a collector of Zoo material from around the world for many years. I of course specialize in Chicago Zooligical Society-Brookfield Zoo items. I try to visit zoos wherever I travel, learning the many different workings at each and trying to bring the best ideas home with me. I am glad to have just found this forum as it looks like it has a wealth of information on it.

    Welcome to the group. The Brookfield Zoo is frequently discussed here. I visited your zoo for a giraffe conference last year and enjoyed it. Brookfield Zoo has the best wolf exhibit that I've seen.
