From what I can tell, there's not much to it.
To the zoo? No. To my review? Let's just say I have more to say about this zoo than most.

Hmm, wonder what that could mean?
Baxter the Bobcat was euthanized due to cancer

The zoo received a donation for four more life-sized animal statues. Seems like a strange thing to focus on, considering this tiny zoo has begun fundraising for its master plan. Maybe these statues will attract more people?

It might be a focus for the planned for renewal and fundraising drive?!??

I visited today and found nothing new. I was expecting at least to see where the ground was broken for the pheasantry but nope.
That's a bit disappointing to hear. Especially because of this reported in September of 2021...
The link to that article no longer exists... Does that mean they either broke ground and did not do anymore and it's possibly eroded away; or this groundbreaking in 2021 was more ceremonial than an actual groundbreaking? Was there any snow covering the ground that could have hidden even just a pile or patch of dirt?
No snow whatsoever. If something was there I would have seen it.
The zoo announced via facebook that construction of the new pheasant exhibits has begun! This time with pictures so we know it’s actually started
