What is a Backyard Action Hero?
A Backyard Action Hero (BAH) is a kid who is really into wildlife and habitats and is ready to take action to help protect them.  A BAH cares about the animals and plants in his/her own backyard and in other parts of the world! The Louisville Zoo is a really great place to learn all about plants and animals.

About the Backyard Action Hero Guidebook
The 2008-2009 Backyard Action Hero Guidebook focuses on wetlands - like swamps, marshes and bogs.  It also includes lots of information on the animals that depend on wetlands and some news about the Year of the Frog!

It’s full of fun facts and awesome activities that you can do by yourself or with family and friends.  You’ll discover ways that YOU can help protect the environment.  It’s not only cool to help with conservation – it can be fun too!

You can also download previous year's guidebooks. (Note, all books require Adobe Acrobat to read.  You can download this program by clicking here.)
