What a session feels like
You arrive in boots and waterproofs at the wildlife park, greeted by your instructor. You slip on gloves and a hi-vis vest and follow the paths to animal enclosures. Maybe you help feed otters, clean habitats, or observe behaviours. You’ll hear stories, ask questions, and feel instinctively connected to life you’d normally only read about. After three hours of hands-on learning, you walk away knowing more than most about how animal care works in real life.
