History

The British Wildlife Centre was founded in 1997 by David Mills, who converted his dairy farm into a centre to celebrate British wildlife. The first three years served pre-booked groups since which it is opened almost every day of the year to paying daytime visitors.

Conservation

The centre aims to educate and to encourage participation in wildlife conservation. It also participates in captive breeding programmes. Its animals are fed throughout the day, and regular "keeper talks" are held at these times. The talks are at approximately 30-minute intervals, with some of the morning talks being repeated in the afternoon.
