What a session feels like
You arrive at Meadows Wildlife Park in boots and outdoor clothes. You head out alongside instructors to clean enclosures, feed animals, monitor health & behaviour, and carry out everyday husbandry tasks. Back indoors, you tackle theory tasks via workbooks or online modules. You’ll get feedback, refine your techniques, and grow both skill and confidence in caring for living creatures.
