Knowsley Safari
This weekend programme is designed for those serious about a career working as a vet, zoologist, keeper, zoo educator or conservationist. There will be a mix of theory sessions and practical activities based around the animals both on our foot safari and on our safari drive using the baboon bus! Animal activities may vary but can include making enrichment for our animals, a carnivore section visit, keeper Q&A and conducting behavioural studies.
We will also get stuck into some controversial issues facing animal welfare today and get a behind the scenes look at a day in the life of our Zoo Vet Jen. Throughout the weekend we will explore the biology of some of the animals living here, including their habitats, diets and social structure. As well as this, we will take a look at all the work our Research and Conservation team do both with us at Knowsley Safari and out in the Wild too! Finally, we will take time to work on our wellbeing and connect ourselves back to nature in our woodland area, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Participants will be given a free augmented reality guidebook and certificate along with a large portfolio of their work to take home and use to further any applications or interviews. You can also add on a branded hoody for just £25!
