DZC was in the spotlight at the annual EAZA (European Association of Zoos and Aquariums) conference in Paris last week.

Deputy Curator Nicola Wright and Conservation and Development Coordinator, Jack Williams, joined hundreds of delegates from zoos across Europe at the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle and attended a packed programme of workshops and meetings.

And Jack was even a guest speaker during a main stage presentation about invertebrates, freshwater fish and wetland species, in his capacity as Terrestrial Invertebrate TAG (Taxon Advisory Group) member - speaking about some of our work with wetland species, including our glutinous snails!

The event is a great opportunity to strengthen our ties with international colleagues.

Have you seen that you can look after your own Asian small-clawed otters in new game due to release next week.

Did you know we have our own Asian small-clawed otters here at DZC?

Why not come and learn all about them alongside our other endangered species, and how we are working to protect them in the wild as a conservation charity.

We are thrilled to be working alongside the Planet Zoo team through BIAZA to promote the wonderful work zoos are doing across the UK to protect wildlife.

Following the success of our free coffee mornings, we're delighted to be able to bring them back this autumn and winter.

‘Coffee, cake and Castle Hill’ will return on Wednesday, November 4 for the next few months.

As before, the free event will continue to be held in the Tecton Room off the Safari Shop from 10.30am – 12.30pm and will take place every Wednesday. It will include hot drinks, cake and biscuits.

Guest speakers will join us on occasions, but a member of zoo staff will always be available to provide updates on the ongoing work of our conservation charity.

DZC Conservation and Development Coordinator, Jack Williams, said: "I’ve been regularly asked by past attendees in the zoo and around Dudley town centre when the coffee mornings would be coming back, which shows just how valued they are.

"I'm delighted that we can continue providing a welcoming space for people to come together, make connections and feel part of our community.”

We continue to ask attendees to pre-book their place as space is limited. Places can be booked by calling 01384 215313 or online. The link's below.

And if you’ve not yet joined us – please come along! You’d be made very welcome!

Please note with the free coffee mornings, car parking will also be complimentary, but it will not include zoo admission.
