ONGOING PROJECTS...

Chopsticks for Salamanders

Chopsticks For Salamanders (CFS) is a conservation initiative started in 2011 that promotes forest stewardship and salamander conservation.  
The goals of this program are:

• To disseminate information about the production of disposable chopsticks
• To increase awareness about salamander diversity in the United States, and 
• To raise money for salamander conservation, education and research.

We are proud to partner with the Houston Zoo and SSA to offer reusable chopsticks year round! We also sell them at other individual events we have. Providing the signage and holding a lunch and learn for the SSA sales staff has proved to help with the success of spreading the message and with sales!

GHCAAZK has recently funded a $1000 grant to be used to benefit Texas Salamanders by hosting a Swig (some beer) for Salamanders event!
