A great family day visit with lots to see and do...
a place to visit to be in touch with Nature.

ADOPTIONS:
Why
not adopt any of our birds or animals at the Centre when
you visit, for only £25 - you will receive a package
of a photo of your chosen friend, information about the
animal, a certificate, a plaque displayed at the Centre
and a free entry pass for one person for 2011.
If
you wish to fly a bird to your fist - a unique opportunity!
- please ask at Reception on your arrival. Each year some
of the money collected is donated to a conservation charity,
and in 2010 we were able to support the Somerset Wildlife
Trust, and the Hawk and Owl Trust in their conservation
work locally. This support will continue and grow through
2011.
