Zoo Food Sponsored Wheelchair Push for Wildlife

Aim

To support Zoo Food, Shaldon Wildlife Trust and the Little Fire Face Project through a sponsored wheelchair push!

Who are we?

Zoo Food@Shaldon Wildlife Trust is a volunteer run project growing fresh organic produce for the animals at Shaldon Wildlife Trust. We run on a very limited budget but aspire to produce fresh, organic, low carbon footprint food for our partner zoo as well as get local volunteers involved in getting outdoors.

Why are we crowdfunding?

We want to grow Zoo Food as well as give money to Shaldon Wildlife Trust for the amazing work they do with endangered species as well as provide funding to the Little Fire Face Project, which focuses on the conservation of the critically endangered Java slow loris.
