Hickory Shadows Zoo - Needs Our Help!
Find out how you can Volunteer your time or send a helpful donation.

Zoo Hours: May 2nd through October 31st, Fri-Sun 10AM-6PM

(Note:  The Hickory Shadows Zoo will be closed June 6-10 & June 27-July1st)

Gordon Richards has been running the Hickory Zoo of Mount Vernon since February of 1999. The responsibilities were passed onto him when his uncle went into retirement.  Gordon suffered a heart attack several months ago and hasn't been able to keep up the work flow.  We would like to help him bring back the excitements of Hickory Shadows Zoo to our community.

As of right now the animal count is low, however Gordon would like to bring back some big cats at the zoo as soon as the animal pins and other work is completed.  Currently the zoo has 2 wild mustangs, 1 pot belly pig, raccoons', a skunk, duck, geese, and of course who can forget the 17yr old beautiful black bear named "Daisy Bang". Daisy is a very smart bear, she can count with her paws among other entertaining tricks with her caretaker Gordon!

Volunteer your time at the zoo anytime during the Zoo Hours of Friday-Sunday, 10AM-6PM. All you need to do is show up with a pair of working hands, Gordon will provide materials and show you what he needs help with. Volunteer work will include some of the following duties: Pouring concrete floors for the animal pins (Concrete is very much needed at this time), pulling weeds, and other basic cleaning tasks.

Don't have time to volunteer? No problem, you can still help by sending a donation:

Hickory Shadows Zoo
9370 E Radius Rd.
Mt. Vernon, IL. 62864

Gordon Richards sends a sincere Thank You for your generosity to those who are able to help with volunteer work and/or donations to the zoo.
