Our Direction Board planting trees to improve habitats at Brent Lodge in hopes of reintroducing the extirpated water vole. They were keen to talk about their incredible work with Cllr @DrAyshaRaza and how they've been taking youth equity and agency to a national level.

Many marmoset and tamarin species enjoy eating tree sap. To simulate natural behaviours, our keepers ensure our silvery marmosets have lots of opportunities to enjoy their favourite gum. 🐵💚🌴

It's a great time of year to visit our birds, especially the waterfowl, peafowl and flamingos. As they gear up for breeding season, the are at their most active and attractive! 💚💚💚

Hanwell Zoo's @BeauJensen, Conservationist and Educator, has written a blog for UCL's @YESTEM_UK about his equitable practices at @HanwellZoo and how being a part of the YESTEM research project has benefitted him and the 1000's of young learners from Ealing he teaches each year.
