Take a short walk from Bedford to Peru in South America

0

At Herrings Green Activity Farm in Wilstead, they’re home to more than 200 birds of prey and animals from around the world. 

Like many zoos across the country, last year was the most difficult year they have ever had to face.

They are still finding things incredibly challenging and not knowing of when they are going to be able to open and what capacity they can open at as the year progresses, they continue to find ourselves in a very worrying situation. 

As a family-run activity farm they’re not eligible for the zoo funding and now have just found out that despite having insurance for disruption to business the insurance company has managed to wriggle out of paying.

BUT instead of sitting here and worrying about it, they have decided to put one foot in front of the other, literally, and start fundraising!  

The team at the farm will be walking through tough terrain from Bedford to Peru, to celebrate Tye’s (their Alpaca) second birthday they’re letting him visit his homeland! 

It’s a whopping 13,737 miles.
