Lehigh Valley Zoo operates as a nonprofit museum and zoological institution located in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, within the Trexler Nature Preserve. It houses more than 250 animal ambassadors spanning over 128 species, and coordinates its collection through the Species Survival Plan Program™ administered by the AZA, reflecting its participation in accredited, conservation-focused networks. The zoo engages in conservation messaging and fieldwork through home and international programs, with notable projects highlighting local Spotted Turtle, national Mexican Gray Wolf, and international African Penguin initiatives. Its offerings include educational programs, family-friendly events, camps, and interpretive experiences such as a Reptile & Amphibian Discover Center and live wolf and penguin demonstrations, designed to connect guests with wildlife and conservation issues. As a long-standing community institution, it collaborates with regional partners and other organizations to support wildlife conservation, and it maintains accreditation with AZA and WAZA, as well as active membership in professional keeper associations. Recently, the zoo announced collaborations with Wildlifeandparks and regional entities to relocate bison to the Seneca Nation of Indians, reflecting ongoing partnership activity in its external conservation efforts.
