Wildwood Trust
About
Wildwood Trust offers two flagship wildlife parks in Kent and Devon that showcase native British species in naturalistic, ancient woodland settings. With more than 200 animals—including bears, wolves, arctic foxes, and red squirrels—visitors experience a living, breathing ecosystem that supports both education and conservation. Guided talks, feeding sessions, and behind‑the‑scenes experiences invite guests to learn about rewilding projects, while play areas, cafés offering fresh pizza, and a gift shop provide comfort and convenience. Whether you’re a family looking for adventure, a student studying ecology, or an animal lover eager to observe wildlife in a humane environment, Wildwood offers an accessible and memorable day out. The parks also house dedicated conservation work such as reintroductions of bison and _Pinnate tower_ beetles, making each visit part of a broader mission to restore Britain’s natural heritage.
