We have been closed now for nearly three months and we cannot thank every single person enough for their donations of food, funds, support and presence throughout this crazy time.

We hope everyone has been tuning into our live streams via facebook. Everyday Kim, Michael and Karen stream live from the zoo giving you different animals, stories and a virtual visit to the zoo while we are closed. www.facebook.co.uk/SafariZooUK

This week we are helping to promote the 30 Day Wild campaign, which is being led by The Wildlife Trust.

This month-long campaign will see one random act of wildness from anyone that wants to get involved get highlighted per day.

You can get involved with your chance to win a free child admission ticket by submitting your 30 acts at the end of the month.

We have many staff members involved from home too, building bug hotels, spider web catchers, bird feeders and more really cool act of wildness to get into the ‘wildlife and nature’ spirit.

On day one (yesterday), we saw one of our newest members of the animal care team, Jack, head off from the zoo at 9am, barefoot ‘in the shoes of the animals’ as he embarked on a 15-mile trail to help raise funds for the care of the animals at the zoo.

It really is a time for teamwork and Jack did exceptionally well to finish in good time.

You can still donate to Jack’s fundraiser at www.gofundme.com/f/barefoot-trail.

You can help in many ways too – from sponsoring a meal, e-dopting your favourite animal, buying a ticket to use later in the year or purchasing an animal encounter with a whopping 50 per cent discount. You can even donate leafy greens for Stan the Sloth and breakfast for the red pandas.

All this can be done online via our website, www.safarizoo.co.uk/we-need-your-help.
