The Chestnut Conservation Centre,
Otter & Owl and Wildlife Park was founded in 1984 by the
Heap family who also own and operate New Forest Wildlife Park
in Marchwood, Hampshire and the World famous Battersea Park Children's
Zoo in London. Our Wildlife Park is unique in the UK because
it has Europe's largest groups of multi-specied otters, owls
and other indigenous wildlife. Otters and owls were first of
interest to our family when we had Asian short-clawed otters
in our garden which, fortunately, had a running stream. Otters
Kizzie and Ferdie proved to be the start of a life-long passion
for otters and completely changed the direction of our lives. |
