Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough 🎉

For generations, Sir David has inspired millions to fall in love with the natural world and understand the importance of protecting it. Through his storytelling, passion, and unwavering advocacy for wildlife and conservation, he has become a true pioneer whose influence reaches every corner of the globe.

As Sir David once said: “No one will protect what they don’t care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced.”

Across the Small Zoo Network, our members are proud to be a part that legacy every single day, connecting people with nature, educating future conservationists, and helping inspire the next generation to care for our planet and the incredible species we share it with.

Thank you, Sir David, for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world and for inspiring so many to protect it for generations to come. 💚🌿

What an inspiring day at our Native Species Conservation Workshop, hosted by Hobbledown Epsom! 🌿

From insightful discussions to hands-on activities, the day was packed with networking and knowledge sharing focused on strengthening native species conservation and education across our incredible community of small zoos. 🐝

Our small but mighty zoos have the power to connect our communities to our native wildlife and be part of the solution to bringing back our most vulnerable native species. 🦉

Highlights included practical sessions on dung beetle surveying and camera trapping, alongside engaging presentations on bat surveying, education initiatives, and simple but impactful ways we can all enhance our zoo environments for local wildlife. 🪲

A huge thank you to the fantastic Hobbledown team for being such warm and welcoming hosts, and to all of our wonderful members who joined us. It was a brilliant turnout and a truly valuable day for everyone involved.
