Durrell Day
th
Record crowds visited Durrell wildlife park on Sunday 12 July 2009 to help celebrate half a
century of conservation success. Over 14,000 people enjoyed fun, games and special campaigns,
saw how Durrell cares for endangered animals and picnicked in the beautiful gardens.
Continuing from this success the Durrell Day festivities have now transformed into a weekend of
activities to be held on 14th – 15th August. Opening from 10am until 6pm over the weekend, locals
and tourists alike are welcome to join us for the reduced entrance fee of £5 for adults and free for
children under 16. Durrell members can enter for free.
This year we are focusing on our conservation effort across the world; both in the field and in Jersey. Throughout the
wildlife park there will be zones focusing on our top-spots and particular species; each with information points, talks from
our keepers and interactive games. We will also have a fundraising zone, where you can find out what you can do to help
Durrell and get involved, from sending us your old mobile phone to walking the Great Wall of China. If that’s not enough
we will have the family favourite den building, the Genuine Jersey Market and a showcase of what is new at Durrell.
www.durrell.org Durrell Day is supported by NatWest.

Being a volunteer is often a valuable way to gain experience, make contacts and to discover if your chosen career really

CJS Weekly and online until the closing date.
