We recently introduced Gretel, our yak calf, but she’s not the only new addition to the herd…

Gretel has been joined by calf Gladys, who was born on 18th September to mum Heidi.

The youngsters have become inseparable and spend much of their day running around together. Wherever Gretel goes, Gladys isn’t too far behind. 💖

🐿️ Tiny, fiery and fighting for survival.

It’s Red Squirrel Awareness Week, so we’re shining a spotlight on one of the UK’s most loved native mammals.

From squirrel pox to habitat loss, red squirrels face a number of challenges, but there are ways we can all help.
