Birmingham Zoo

This location near a tributary of the Cahaba River is frequently assessed for water quality as a mid-point of the Zoo. Landscaping and seasonal changes may alter sunlight, temperature, plant communities, water flow, turbidity, and aqautic life. As a guest facing location, the goal is to better visualize and share these landscape changes with others in an effort to better advocate for our local aquatic resources.

BZI-1

This location near a retention pond is frequently assessed for water quality as a starting-point of the Zoo. Landscaping, runoff, and seasonal changes may alter plant communities, water level and flow, turbidity, oxygen levels, and aqautic life. In addition, presence or absence of keystone species can more drastically impact the landscape. The goal is to monitor recovery of this pond and better visualize and share these landscape changes with others in an effort to better educate about keystone species and advocate for our local wetlands and aquatic life.
