A Gift with a difference
that will also help support the work of Durrell in Jersey and worldwide.
The Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust has almost half a century of success at saving species from extinction—both in the wild and through groundbreaking conservation breeding at our headquarters in Jersey. Now you can give a gift to a loved one so they can join our team in Jersey for a day, helping our experienced staff care for our animals. It’s an opportunity for them to gain a unique insight into the work of Durrell in Jersey and have a memorable day.
Your gift will mean that they will be a temporary member of the Durrell mammal staff, assisting Jersey keepers with:
• Preparing food and feeding animals
• Cleaning enclosures
• Checking on the animals’ welfare
• Other important parts of their daily routines
They will have the opportunity to see all aspects of the work of the Jersey mammal department.
Examples of the specific tasks you may be involved with:
• Changing the bedding for our family of western lowland gorillas
• feeding our pair of Andean bears
• preparing challenging food puzzles for our intelligent macaque monkeys.
To benefit from this gift applicants must be over 18 years of age and physically fit.
They will have a full day with us in Jersey — arrive at 8.30, leave at 5.30
Cost: £150 for the day. The price includes a surprise gift at the end of the day
They must be prepared to finish the experience tired, filthy, yet fully satisfied!
