For more than forty years, Darde Long has been the face of The Chattanooga Zoo - and the driving force behind its remarkable growth.
When she began her tenure in 1985, the Zoo occupied less than two acres, housed a handful of animals and employed only two people.
Under her leadership, the Zoo has transformed from its humble beginnings into a world-class home for wildlife - and a treasure for the Chattanooga area.
Darde Long is the next guest on “The A List with Alison Lebovitz” from our public media partner WTCI PBS - Thursday night at 8:30 PM and available on the PBS app.
