Local Conservation
Wildlife conservation sits at the heart of our zoo and we are passionate about making a difference
Local Conservation
Our aim is to establish Drusillas as a recognised leader in the conservation of native British and Sussex wildlife
What are we doing so far?
- We have bird boxes and bat boxes in our park to provide nests for native species
- We conduct regular biodiversity surveys in our park to monitor the populations of local wildlife such as bats and butterflies
- We plant native plants around the park to provide food for insects, birds and other wildlife
- We have recycling bins around our park to reduce our waste
Local Partners and Projects
Future Aims and Objectives
We will manage our 15-acre site as a quality habitat for native species, creating a roadmap of activities for enriching biodiversity within our perimeter which will align with national and local conservation strategies.
Grow our native conservation partnerships to 4 from 2, so we establish working partnerships with Peoples Trust for Endangered Species, South Downs National Park, Rewilding Britain, and The Sussex Wildlife Trust that will aim to conserve and restore Sussex wildlife and habitats, beginning locally in the South Downs and extending throughout Sussex and the UK.
Encourage and support staff to get involved with native conservation work by supplying resources, time, and budget alongside our biodiversity roadmap.
