Rescue centres
Our vets and the zoo licensing authority advise us that we should not allow injured or sick animals found by members of the public or pets needing to be re-homed inside the park boundaries, as this increases the chance of transfer of disease to our animals.
You can either get in touch with one of the rescue centres listed below or contact your nearest vet if you are at all concerned about an animal’s welfare. Many vets do not charge for wildlife injuries.
If you own or work for a wildlife rescue centre and would like to be listed on our website, please get in touch with us at info@wildwoodtrust.org.
