There is an initial interview an induction, so that the zoo knows you will suit. Different zoos have different volunteer schemes -if you are interested have a look at the website of whichever zoo is nearest you. At Bristol the volunteers are divided into different streams depending on what is needed and what people want to do. Most are based on the Activity Centre and do mostly kids activities and some presentations with small animals - mostly various bugs and some reptiles (although we now have ferrets and rats as well) The other large group of volunteers are the Rangers who help manage the public/animal interface in the walk though exhibits - we have three, butterflies,lemurs, and lorikeets (the lemurs and lorikeets are as assistants to paid staff, the butterflies are just volunteers)Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413237012527210151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905638301320729729.post-29218681040220450852011-01-21T12:54:52.514-08:002011-01-21T12:54:52.514-08:00This is a great blog!
