Zoo Knoxville happily accepts donated tree “browse” from the community for our giraffes and elephants.

Please ensure that any browse has NOT been sprayed with any chemicals or pesticides.

Please call or email ahead to make arrangements to deliver the browse.
We cannot pick up browse due to staffing shortages, so all donations will have to be delivered to the zoo.

Phone number (865) 637-5331 ext. 1280 or [email protected].

Please advise that someone will contact you as soon as possible to make arrangements. We kindly ask that you do not bring unscheduled browse deliveries.
