Sustained life on Planet Earth is a characteristic of ecosystems
not a function of any individual species. We have tried to capture
as much of that life sustaining function as we can in ZooWoods.
In addition we hope we have provided an island of tranquility
where people can relax and enjoy the wonders of nature. At its
best, naturalistic landscaping is an attempt to return ecological
integrity to a fragmented, urban landscape.
