The holiday season has come to an end, and if you have old lights that don’t work or you don’t want anymore, a special recycling project at Audubon Zoo can put those old strands of lights to good use. Audubon’s Lights for Lions conservation campaign encourages people to donate their old holiday lights rather than tossing them into the trash.  Through January 13, Audubon Zoo is collecting string lights for recycling. There is a large donation box at the Zoo’s front entrance to contribute your unwanted lights for Audubon to recycle.  All proceeds help support the Wildlife Conservation Network’s Lion Recovery Fund. ■ audubonnatureinstitute.org
