In 2022, we partnered with Mural Arts Philadelphia to work on a new painting along the 34th Street Bridge and Zoological Drive. Today, we officially dedicated the murals and unveiled new art that will hang along 34th Street that highlights our conservation work. These paintings, created by artists Eurhi Jones and Dave McShane with designs chosen by the surrounding neighborhoods, use jubilant colors to showcase a future where people and wildlife thrive together. We hope you stop by and take in their beauty on your next visit!
