A new Plains barn for the North Carolina Zoo has survived the first round of budget changes.
The current version of the budget includes $3 million for a barn and paddocks and $450,000 for a horticultural storage facility. (Page 205)
On his blog Russlings, Russ Williams, executive director of the private N.C. Zoo Society, said the barn would be a great new addition:
The Plains barns would allow the Zoo to bring more antelope onto the Plains, which dozens of head of antelope of many species will share with a growing herd of southern white rhinos next season.
