San diego wild animal park

In 2007 there was a fire that destroyed alot of the wild animal park. So my intersession went to the wild animal park were we got a speach from a man named Mike Mace who is the bird curator at the wild animal park. He told us all the birds in the park where they were and if another fire starts how to choose what birds to save. He told us how two birds were killed in the fire that were endangered speices. Then another person came and told us about thge plants and how they got effected he told us to try to walk carefully and try not to walk in bushes incase of snakes. Then we all went on a truck and drove to the outskirts of the desert and started planting little trees. we got to see some hippos pass by and gizzels. we didnt plant for very long but it made me feel good that I was helping animals and plants alike.
