10. Animal Experiences

  1. An introduction will be given to the safe approach of different animal species at Wild Place Project. All animals should be approached in a calm and quiet manner. It is important to neither surprise nor corner an animal as they may act defensively and cause injury to you, the host and themselves. When in close contact with any animal you are at risk from being hurt by them. The potential for injury will vary according to the size and species of animal and the reason for the attack. Behavioural changes will occur according to reproductive cycles, illness, injury or stress and sometimes for no apparent reason. Animals are unpredictable and you should never be complacent with regard to safety precautions when near animals. The host will supervise the approach of animals under their responsibility and at all times practice safe techniques.
  2. Feeding the animals will require close contact with some species and all necessary safety precautions must be adhered to according to the feeding protocols. These include protection when necessary and provision of a safe working distance from the animals where appropriate. The feeding of any animals will be strictly supervised by the host responsible.
  3. You will accompany the relevant host and patrol the section observing the animals. At no time will you be allowed to enter an area or enclosure without the supervision the host.
  4. Due to the hands-on nature of the experiences participants must be physically fit and suffering no severe health problems.
  5. Regrettably certain guests will be unable to take part including people with relevant phobias or known allergies; pregnant women; and immunocompromised individuals. Whilst every effort is made to accommodate those with a disability or learning difficulty, due to practicality and health and safety this cannot always be achieved, unfortunately we cannot accommodate wheelchair users.
  6. The timetable for experiences has been devised in order to allow as much time as possible with the host whilst not detracting from the running of the park. As such, it is not possible to request activities outside those described.
  7. If circumstances dictate, such as bad weather or a particular animal being unwell, it may be necessary to change the chosen activities without notice. In such cases, we will always try our best to offer a suitable alternative.
  8. In case of emergency, Wild Place project reserves the right to close all or parts of the park as necessary. Where this significantly impacts on a stay, we will offer an alternative date.
