www.sheprethwildlifepark.co.uk Shepreth Wildlife Park first started as a private sanctuary in 1979. Willers Mill Wild Animal Sanctuary was a refuge for creatures great and small, including rescued foxes, hedgehogs and badgers, alongside many different species of unlicensed exotics. After care and rehabilitation, many were released back into the wild, but when this was not possible, they lived out

their life at the sanctuary. Today, Shepreth Wildlife Park is home to the busy SWCC Hedgehog Hospital and also participates in national and international breeding programmes for endangered species. It remains as committed as ever to its animals, wildlife conservation and to educating the next generation of conservationists.

Join us on September 12th & 13th at Shepreth Wildlife Park for an awareness and fundraising weekend celebrating one of the world's most unique nocturnal primates: the slow loris.

Discover the biology of these big-eyed, arboreal creatures and learn how global conservation initiatives are working to protect them from extinction.

Slow lorises face severe threats in Asia due to habitat loss, forest fragmentation and the illegal wildlife trade driven by the pet trade and traditional medicine.

Shepreth Wildlife Park is proud to support the Little Fireface Project, the world's longest-running slow loris conservation initiative which works on the ground in Indonesia.

We will have a selection of exclusive slow loris merchandise available to purchase throughout the weekend. All proceeds from these sales will go directly to the Little Fireface Project.

Come and meet the team, shop loris merch and help these extraordinary nocturnal animals!

Last Monday, we celebrated our annual Hedgehog Day in support of the SWCC - Shepreth Hedgehog Hospital, which rescues, treats and rehabilitates hundreds of sick, injured and orphaned hedgehogs every year.

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we are very happy to announce that we raised over £400!

This day wouldn't have been possible without our wonderful community. A massive thank you to our dedicated volunteers, SWCC Patron Hugh Warwick, Haslingfield & Harlton Eco Group, Cambridge Friends of the Earth, The Lightwaves, Sarah The Face Painting Fairy, Mr Bean Entertainments, Doris Loves and our very own Education Officer Al. We couldn't have done it without you!

Every pound goes directly toward the care and rehabilitation of our prickly patients. Thank you for supporting local wildlife and helping us keep our hospital doors open. We can’t wait to see you all again next year!
