Conservation

We endeavour to promote a wider understanding of our natural environment and the fauna and flora which share it.

As keen conservationists for over 30 years the Heap family are concerned in particular with the status of the otter both here in the UK and beyond.

Captive Breeding Programme

We have an on going breeding programme for many endangered indigenous species and we liaise closely with the relevant bodies associated with the particular species.

Rehabilitation

We are also continually involved with the rehabilitation of injured and orphaned wildlife which comes to us from local veterinary practices, the RSPCA, local wildlife trusts and members of the public.

Most of these birds and animals are, after care treatment and convalescence, returned to the wild. Those unable to do so, but have a quality of life, remain with us as ambassadors of their species.
