Volunteering
We are a large wildlife park and zoo with a small team which means there is only so much we can do.
We rely totally on our visitor admissions and animal experiences to fund the upkeep of the animals so it’s important to us to make sure there is always something exciting to do and see for our visitors to the park.
We are currently applying for charity status so that we can do even more for the conservation and protection of animals and to help inspire and educate both young and old alike. Developing a love for the countryside, nature and animals is so important to us.
We graciously accept any support and help in achieving our goals so if you would like to volunteer either as an individual or as a group, please see below what this involves.
