This Christmas, we are once again asking visitors to consider donating what they'd usually spend on cards, postage or gifts to our not-for-profit charity.

In return we'll send you a DZC Christmas eco-friendly e-card, featuring some of our adorable 2022 zoo babies, which you will be able to share with your loved ones.

And not only will your donation help support our ongoing conservation work with some of the worlds rarest animals, but you will also be helping lower the environmental impact of Christmas cards too, with major factors including deforestation and emissions created through delivery methods.

Every donation makes a real difference and will be gratefully received.

Thank you in advance for your support and we hope to welcome you to Dudley Zoo and Castle soon!
