Chahinkapa Zoo Director Kathy Diekman cannot say enough about a friend of both hers and the zoo, Dean Bellmore
Bellmore is the newest recipient of the prestigious Habitat Hero Award. Earned over the course of more than 20 years – and counting of volunteer service, the award was given to Bellmore on Thursday, August 12.
Bellmore is the son of Charlie Bellmore, another longtime zoo supporter. Bellmore has spent countless hours of projects ranging from digging for Chahinkapa Zoo’s kangaroo habitat to repairing water break emergencies.
