Adelaide Zoo was the proud recipient
of a gift from Toro Australia as part of the
annual Toro Company Giving Program, an
international activity with a primary focus
on supporting not for profit organisations
that preserve the outdoor environment.
An Electric Toro Workman Utility Vehicle
was donated, the first to be gifted to a zoo
in Australia. The donation is significant
for Adelaide Zoo since the electric vehicle
aligns with the zoo’s mission of reducing
its carbon footprint and promoting
sustainable work practices.
Zoos South Australia General Manager
of Operations, Jeff Lugg, said the donation
will be a fantastic contribution to
maintaining eight hectares of zoo grounds.
“With more than 1,800 animals to
provide naturalistic habitats for and eight
hectares of botanic gardens to tend the
Toro electric vehicle will offer the team the
ease and efficiency to carry out countless
tasks like planting and the transport of
goods and heavy equipment,” Jeff said.
“We’re pleased to have a long standing
relationship with Toro: they supply most of
Adelaide Zoo electrified by win
the irrigation needs for the zoo gardens.”
Representatives from Toro Australia
recently visited Adelaide Zoo to meet
with Zoos South Australia Chief Executive,
Elaine Bensted and zoo staff for the official
vehicle handover and to congratulate the
zoo’s horticultural achievements.
