Story

As we are celebrating our 80th anniversary we are aiming big with our anniversary fundraising campaign! Next year we will be renovating our much loved Bornean Orangutan exhibit for our lovable group, Benji, Jorong, Jazz and of course, youngster, Sprout!

This project will involve renovating the outdoor area for the group creating a much larger area for them to discover and play. If you would like to get involved with fundraising we are hosting our "Take a walk on the wild side!" event. Our annual Charity Walk is returning and it’s happening the same day we opened 80 years ago!  So grab your fancy dress costume and join us for a 5 km stroll around our 40 acre woodland hillside, getting closer to some of the world’s rarest animals on the way! 

.Or if you have your own ideas for fundraising, whether its on your own or a school or work place, let us know and you can help us on our fundraising mission to give our Orangutans a bigger, more beautiful home here at Dudley Zoo!
