Hello everyone. We need your help and support now more than ever
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a challenging set of circumstances for us all. As a wildlife park, and a charity, our income relies solely on visitors like you, coming through our doors each day and enjoying the unique experience of our animals, gardens and play areas.
2020 was a tough year. Although our doors were closed for periods, work at the Park didn’t stop and we are now facing a huge shortfall.
Our brilliant team worked hard to feed and care for all of the animals, and we still had to pay for food, heating, veterinary care and supplements.
In addition, due to the amount of rain recently, we were flooded and are now needing to repair damage.
If you can, please make a donation via the link below. If you’re not able to make a donation, please share this to your friends and family and encourage them to. A heartfelt thank you.
