Did I ever tell you my daughter's a zookeeper now? She works at the Happy Hollow Zoo, which is a lovely little AZA-accredited zoo in Kelley Park, San Jose.
She works really hard and loves every moment of it. Plus, she's getting very strong!
Is it stair access? Wheelbarrows have larger wheels, are easier to roll and dump, won't be as much a risk for back-strain. That's a really small shovel for the job of loading mulch.
Agreed. We always seem to be operating in what I like to call "less than optimal" situations, with less than optimal tools.
Edt: and no, stairs aren't really the issue--there's a few steps down into the exhibit but a wheelbarrow could do it easily. Actually now that I think of it, we did have one wheelbarrow in use, but it may have been too wide to go through the exhibit doorway.
